Abstract

Phytic acid in its phytate form has been shadowed over the years as being advantageous or vice-versa. At one hand, where it is extremely helpful in several ways, its major drawback of being a chelating agent cannot be overlooked. Quantity of nutrients delivered by any eatable is what defines its beneficial quality. The pro-and-cons of phytic acid are essential to understand in order to develop the quality of a grain, food and vegetable.
