About Lenteja
Lenteja, commonly known as lentils, are small, lens-shaped legumes that have been a dietary staple for thousands of years, originating from the Middle East and widely used in cuisines across South Asia, the Mediterranean, and Latin America. Packed with nutrients, lentils are an excellent source of plant-based protein, fiber, and complex carbohydrates, making them ideal for supporting digestion, heart health, and sustained energy levels. They are rich in essential vitamins and minerals, including folate, iron, potassium, and magnesium, and are naturally low in fat and cholesterol. Lentils are a versatile ingredient, found in soups, stews, salads, and curries, and are suitable for vegetarian and vegan diets. While highly nutritious, consuming lentils in excess may cause bloating for some due to their high fiber content. Overall, lentejas are a powerhouse food known for their affordability, sustainability, and health benefits.
