About Brown or green lentils
Brown and green lentils are versatile legumes that have been a staple in diets across the globe for centuries, particularly in Middle Eastern, Indian, and Mediterranean cuisines. Packed with nutrition, these lentils are a rich source of plant-based protein, making them an excellent choice for vegetarians and vegans. They're high in fiber, which supports healthy digestion, and loaded with essential nutrients like iron, folate, magnesium, and potassium. Additionally, their low glycemic index makes them a heart-healthy option for maintaining steady blood sugar levels. Brown lentils have a mild, earthy flavor and hold their shape well during cooking, while green lentils are slightly firmer with a peppery taste, ideal for salads and soups. Though they’re naturally low in fat, pairing them with high-sodium ingredients can reduce their nutritional profile. Enjoy lentils as a wholesome base for hearty stews, nourishing curries, or vibrant veggie bowls.
