About Black lentils
Black lentils, also known as beluga lentils, are a small, glossy legume prized for their earthy flavor and versatility in cooking. Originating from Asia and the Mediterranean, they are a staple in Indian, Middle Eastern, and vegetarian cuisines. Packed with nutrients, black lentils boast high amounts of protein, fiber, iron, and folate, making them an excellent choice for heart health, digestion, and sustaining energy levels. Unlike starchy foods, their low glycemic index helps manage blood sugar levels, making them suitable for diabetic-friendly diets. Black lentils are also rich in antioxidants, which may support immune health and combat inflammation. A natural plant-based protein source, they are ideal for vegans and vegetarians. However, they contain compounds known as lectins, which could impact digestion in some people if not prepared properly. Easy to cook and delicious, black lentils are a nutritious and flavorful addition to various dishes.
