About Lentejas
Lentejas, or lentils, are small, lens-shaped legumes widely used in Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and Indian cuisines. Packed with nutrients, they are an excellent plant-based protein source, rich in dietary fiber, iron, folate, and essential minerals such as potassium and magnesium. Their low fat content and complex carbohydrates make them a heart-healthy food that supports steady energy levels and digestive health. Lentils come in various types, including green, brown, red, and black, each offering unique textures and flavors. They are a staple in dishes like Indian dal, Spanish lentejas stew, and lentil salads. Naturally low in sodium and cholesterol-free, they can help manage blood sugar, lower cholesterol, and promote overall health. However, excess portions or preparation with high-fat ingredients may reduce their health benefits. Versatile and nutrient-dense, lentejas are a wholesome addition to any balanced diet.
