About Lentil cooked
Lentils, a staple in cuisines worldwide, are small, lens-shaped legumes that pack a significant nutritional punch when cooked. Originating from the Mediterranean and South Asia, lentils are a versatile ingredient featured in dishes ranging from Indian dal to Middle Eastern soups. When cooked, lentils are rich in plant-based protein, dietary fiber, and complex carbohydrates, making them an excellent choice for sustained energy and satiety. They are also abundant in essential nutrients like iron, folate, potassium, and magnesium, which support heart health, digestion, and overall vitality. Unlike other protein sources, cooked lentils are naturally low in fat and free of cholesterol. However, depending on preparation, additions like salt, cream, or butter can increase sodium or fat content. With their earthy flavor and impressive nutritional profile, lentils are a wholesome, budget-friendly option for balanced meals.
