About Linsen
Linsen, known more commonly as lentils, are small, lens-shaped legumes celebrated for their rich nutritional profile and versatility in cooking. Originating from ancient civilizations in the Middle East and Mediterranean regions, lentils are now a staple in cuisines worldwide, including Indian, Middle Eastern, and Mediterranean dishes. Packed with plant-based protein, dietary fiber, iron, and folate, lentils are a powerhouse for promoting heart health, stabilizing blood sugar, and supporting digestive wellness. Low in fat and free of cholesterol, they are an excellent choice for vegetarians and vegans. Lentils come in various types, such as green, red, brown, and black, each lending itself to soups, stews, salads, and curries. While lentils are highly nutritious, overconsumption may lead to bloating due to their fiber content, and pairing them with vitamin C-rich foods can enhance iron absorption. Versatile and nourishing, lentils are a cornerstone of a balanced diet.
