About Lentil puree

Lentil puree is a smooth, flavorful dish made from cooked lentils blended with ingredients like garlic, onions, olive oil, and spices. Originating from Middle Eastern, Indian, and Mediterranean cuisines, it is a versatile staple often enjoyed as a dip, spread, or side dish. Packed with plant-based protein, dietary fiber, and essential nutrients such as iron, magnesium, and folate, lentil puree is a highly nutritious option for vegetarians and vegans. Its low glycemic index makes it suitable for managing blood sugar levels, while its fiber content supports digestive health. Typically low in fat, this puree is a heart-healthy choice. However, if made with excessive oil or salt, its calorie and sodium content can increase, so moderation is key. Its wholesome, earthy flavor and dense nutritional profile make lentil puree an excellent addition to any balanced diet.
