About Lentille
Lentils are small, lens-shaped legumes that have been a dietary staple for thousands of years, particularly in Middle Eastern, Indian, and Mediterranean cuisines. Packed with nutrition, lentils are an excellent source of plant-based protein, dietary fiber, iron, and folate, making them a popular choice for vegetarian and vegan diets. They come in various types, including green, brown, red, and black, each with a slightly different texture and flavor. Lentils are low in fat and cholesterol-free, contributing to heart health and improved digestion, while their complex carbohydrates provide a steady source of energy. They are naturally gluten-free and versatile, working well in soups, salads, and curries. While lentils are incredibly healthy, pairing them with overly salty or fatty ingredients can diminish their benefits. For optimal nutrition, prepare them simply with herbs, spices, and fresh vegetables to enjoy their wholesome goodness.
