About Mashed lentils
Mashed lentils are a nutritious, versatile dish made from cooked lentils blended into a smooth or slightly chunky texture. Originating in various cuisines across the globe, especially South Asian, Middle Eastern, and Mediterranean, they are often seasoned with spices, herbs, and aromatics like garlic, cumin, or turmeric to enhance flavor. Packed with protein, fiber, folate, iron, and essential minerals, mashed lentils are a plant-based powerhouse, ideal for vegetarians and vegans seeking a satisfying nutrient boost. Their fiber content supports digestion and heart health, while the low fat profile makes them a wholesome addition to most diets. However, depending on the preparation, added oils, butter, or excessive salt could reduce their nutritional benefits. Served as a side dish, spread, or accompaniment to rice or bread, mashed lentils are a hearty and nourishing choice rooted in centuries-old culinary traditions.
