About Lentil seeds
Lentil seeds are small, lens-shaped legumes that have been cultivated for thousands of years, originating from regions in the Middle East and South Asia. Available in various colors, including green, brown, red, and black, lentils are a staple in numerous cuisines, such as Indian, Mediterranean, and Middle Eastern dishes. Packed with plant-based protein, dietary fiber, iron, and folate, lentils are a nutritional powerhouse, especially for vegetarians and vegans. They support heart health, aid digestion, and help maintain steady energy levels due to their low glycemic index. Lentils are also naturally low in fat and gluten-free. However, they do contain antinutrients like lectins, which can be reduced by proper soaking and cooking. Versatile and affordable, lentils are a healthy and convenient addition to soups, salads, stews, and even plant-based meat substitutes.
