What type of bean are they referring to – would something like hummus do the trick??

I just looked this up in wikipedia. It looks like dal refers to a way of prepairing pulses – peas, lentils, mung beans, and even kidney beans, when hulled and split can be called dal (although it looks like only a subset of these categories).

Cooking deactivates these anti-nutrients which include lectins, phytic acid, trypsin and α-amylase inhibitors. The paleo folks seem to always leave this information out. I don’t know anyone who consumes uncooked rice or beans.
