About Dried brown lentils
Dried brown lentils are a versatile legume packed with nutrition and commonly used in Middle Eastern, Indian, and Mediterranean cuisines. These small, earthy-flavored pulses are a powerhouse of protein, fiber, and essential nutrients, making them a staple for vegetarian and vegan diets. They're rich in iron, folate, magnesium, and potassium, supporting healthy blood flow, energy levels, and heart health. With minimal fat and no cholesterol, lentils are a wholesome option for maintaining a balanced diet. Brown lentils are easy to cook and pair well with spices, vegetables, and grains in soups, stews, and curries. While they're nutrient-dense, eating them alongside vitamin C-rich foods improves iron absorption. However, lentils do contain natural compounds like phytates that can interfere with mineral absorption, but soaking or cooking mitigates these effects. Fast-cooking and affordable, dried brown lentils are a nourishing addition to a healthy lifestyle.
