Description

Lentil seeds are the seeds of the lentil plant, which belongs to the legume family. They are rich in plant protein, complex carbohydrates, fiber, and also contain iron, magnesium, and B vitamins. Lentils are usually eaten cooked, as they are difficult to digest in their raw form. They help maintain a feeling of fullness for a long time, support intestinal function, and may be beneficial for the cardiovascular system. They are used in soups, side dishes, salads, and purees.
