What are Lentils?

Lentils are an ancient food dating back to the Bronze Age. The lens-shaped food is an edible legume. The majority of the world’s production of lentils come from Canada and India.

Lentils come in a variety of colors: brown, green, black, red, yellow, and orange. Without a doubt, brown, red, and green lentils are my favorites!

What are the benefits of lentils?

Lentils are packed with nutrients that can aid you in living a healthier life. Lentils can serve as a great source of B vitamins, zinc, magnesium, potassium, selenium, and iron. Such ingredients are important in maintaining energy levels, decreasing the risk of heart disease, and preventing cancer.

Because lentils contain high amounts of protein, they can serve as a great meat alternative. Lentils are also high in fiber and can aid in providing regular bowel movements.

Lentils also contain folic acid. It is well known that folic acid is one of the most important nutrients during pregnancy. With regular consumption of lentils, pregnant women can have a healthy overall pregnancy and baby.

If you ask any weight loss expert, they will tell you that lentils can help you achieve your weight loss goals. One cup size of lentils contains under 250 calories! Because lentils are packed with fiber, you don’t need to consume a lot and you can remain full throughout the day. This is great for preventing unhealthy snacking!
