Green lentils are versatile legumes cherished for their subtle, earthy flavor and firm texture. Originating from the Middle East, they have found a place in a variety of global cuisines, particularly in Indian, Mediterranean, and French recipes. Packed with nutrients, green lentils are a rich source of plant-based protein, dietary fiber, iron, and folate, making them an excellent addition to vegetarian and vegan diets. They are also low in fat and cholesterol, which supports heart health and weight management. Green lentils contain antioxidants and compounds that may help regulate blood sugar levels, promoting overall wellness. While high in nutrients, individuals with sensitive digestion may want to consume lentils in moderation to avoid bloating or gas. These hearty legumes are a staple in soups, salads, and side dishes, bringing both nutritional value and vibrant flavor to meals.
