About Raw lentils
Raw lentils are nutrient-packed legumes widely used in cuisines around the world, particularly in Indian, Middle Eastern, and Mediterranean dishes. They come in different varieties, including green, brown, red, and black, each offering distinct flavors and textures. Lentils are an excellent source of plant-based protein, fiber, and essential minerals like iron, magnesium, and potassium. They are naturally low in fat and contain complex carbohydrates, making them a great choice for sustained energy. Rich in folate and antioxidants, lentils are supportive of heart health and digestion. However, raw lentils should not be consumed without proper cooking, as they contain natural compounds like lectins that can interfere with nutrient absorption and cause digestive discomfort. Soaking or boiling lentils ensures safety and maximizes their nutritional benefits while retaining their versatile culinary appeal.
