About Cooked green lentils
Cooked green lentils are nutrient-dense legumes celebrated for their versatility and health benefits. They are commonly used in Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, and Indian cuisine, adding earthy flavor and hearty texture to soups, salads, and stews. Packed with protein, they are an excellent plant-based alternative to meat, making them a favorite among vegans and vegetarians. Green lentils are also rich in dietary fiber, supporting healthy digestion and promoting heart health by helping to lower cholesterol levels. They contain essential nutrients like iron, folate, and magnesium, aiding energy production and overall cellular function. Low in fat and free from cholesterol, they are a smart choice for those managing weight or improving dietary balance. However, they are relatively high in carbohydrates, so portion control is key for individuals on low-carb diets. With their simple preparation and robust nutritional profile, green lentils are a wholesome addition to any diet.
