About Lentil wafer

Lentil wafers are thin, crispy snacks made primarily from ground lentils, often blended with spices and seasonings. Originating from South Asian cuisine, particularly Indian, these wafers are commonly known as papad or papadum and are typically enjoyed as an appetizer or side dish. They are gluten-free, high in protein, and contain dietary fiber, making them a nutritious choice for those seeking plant-based foods. Lentil wafers are usually low in fat when roasted or cooked without oil, but frying them can significantly increase their calorie and fat content. Rich in essential nutrients like iron, potassium, and folate, these wafers support overall health when consumed as part of a balanced diet. However, some varieties may include added salt or artificial preservatives, so it’s important to choose minimally processed options for maximum health benefits. Their crisp texture and savory flavor make lentil wafers a popular, guilt-free treat when prepared mindfully.
