About Whole green lentils
Whole green lentils are small, flat legumes known for their earthy flavor and delicate texture. Originating from the Middle East and commonly used in Mediterranean, Indian, and French cuisines, they are a versatile ingredient found in salads, soups, stews, and side dishes. Packed with protein, fiber, iron, and folate, green lentils are a nutritional powerhouse that promotes heart health, aids digestion, and supports energy levels. They are naturally low in fat, making them an excellent choice for plant-based and weight-conscious diets. Rich in antioxidants, they may also help reduce inflammation and support overall wellbeing. Unlike other lentils, green lentils maintain their firmness when cooked, making them ideal for recipes requiring texture. However, their high protein content may be harder to digest for some individuals when consumed in excess. Whole green lentils are gluten-free, affordable, and an easy way to incorporate nutrient-dense food into everyday meals.
