About Lentil peas

Lentil peas are small, lens-shaped legumes that have been a dietary staple for thousands of years, originating in regions of Asia and the Mediterranean. Packed with nutrition, they are an excellent source of plant-based protein, dietary fiber, and essential minerals like iron, magnesium, and potassium. Low in fat and rich in complex carbohydrates, lentil peas provide sustained energy and promote digestive health. They are naturally cholesterol-free and contain heart-friendly nutrients, including folate, which supports cardiovascular function. Lentils are versatile and feature prominently in cuisines worldwide, from Indian dals to Middle Eastern soups and Mediterranean salads. While lentils are exceptionally healthy, pairing them with salty ingredients may increase sodium levels, so opt for fresh or low-sodium recipes to maximize their benefits. Affordable, easy to cook, and nutrient-dense, lentil peas are a smart addition to any balanced diet.
