Boiled lentils are a nutritious, protein-packed legume that have been a staple in cuisines worldwide, from South Asian curries to Mediterranean salads. Renowned for their earthy flavor and versatility, lentils are brimming with essential nutrients, including protein, fiber, iron, and folate, making them an excellent choice for vegetarians and vegans. Low in fat and naturally gluten-free, boiled lentils support heart health, improve digestion, and stabilize blood sugar levels. They are easy to prepare and adapt well to a variety of spices and seasonings. Originating primarily in the Middle East and India, lentils have been cultivated for thousands of years. While highly nutritious, portion size matters for individuals monitoring carbohydrate intake, as lentils do contain a modest amount of natural starch. Whether enjoyed in soups, stews, or salads, boiled lentils are a wholesome and satisfying addition to any meal plan.
