About Lentilles
Lentilles, commonly known as lentils, are nutrient-packed legumes that have been a dietary staple for centuries, originating from the Middle East and widely featured in Indian, Mediterranean, and vegetarian cuisines. Rich in plant-based protein, lentils are an excellent meat alternative for vegans and vegetarians. They also provide a wealth of dietary fiber, supporting digestion and promoting heart health by reducing cholesterol levels. Loaded with essential nutrients like iron, folate, magnesium, and antioxidants, lentils contribute to energy production, immune function, and cellular repair. Low in fat and calories, they make a wholesome choice for weight management. Available in various types—green, brown, red, and black—they adapt well to soups, curries, salads, and side dishes. However, they contain natural compounds called lectins, which may hinder nutrient absorption if eaten excessively. Cooking properly can help reduce this effect, ensuring lentils remain a versatile and healthful addition to any diet.
