About Green lentil

Green lentils, also known as French lentils, are versatile legumes prized in cuisines worldwide, particularly in Mediterranean, Indian, and Middle Eastern dishes. They have a mild, earthy flavor and retain their firm texture even after cooking, making them ideal for salads and soups. Packed with nutrients, green lentils are a powerhouse of plant-based protein, dietary fiber, iron, and folate, supporting muscle health, digestion, and energy levels. They're naturally low in fat and free of cholesterol, making them a heart-healthy choice. Green lentils also provide essential minerals like magnesium and potassium, promoting bone health and regulating blood pressure. While they’re an excellent source of complex carbohydrates for sustained energy, individuals managing blood sugar should moderate portion sizes. Gluten-free and easy to prepare, green lentils are a nutritious addition to any diet.
