About Pea lentils

Pea lentils, often referred to as split peas, are hearty legumes cherished for their nutty flavor and versatility in global cuisines. Originating from central and eastern Asia, they are staples in dishes like Indian dals, Mediterranean soups, and North American pea soups. Packed with nutrients, pea lentils are an excellent source of plant-based protein, dietary fiber, and essential minerals such as iron, potassium, and magnesium. They promote digestive health, support heart function, and help maintain steady energy levels due to their low glycemic index. Naturally low in fat, they lack cholesterol, making them a heart-healthy choice. However, individuals sensitive to lectins or high-fiber diets may experience digestive discomfort. Ideal for vegetarians and vegans, pea lentils are a budget-friendly and nourishing addition to countless recipes, ensuring both flavor and functionality in daily meals.
