About Dry green lentils
Dry green lentils are small, flat legumes with a mild, earthy flavor and a slightly firm texture. A staple in Middle Eastern, Indian, and Mediterranean cuisines, they are versatile for soups, salads, curries, and side dishes. Nutrient-dense, green lentils are an excellent source of plant-based protein, dietary fiber, and essential minerals like iron, magnesium, and folate. Low in fat and naturally cholesterol-free, they promote heart health, aid digestion, and help sustain energy levels. These lentils have a moderate glycemic index, making them a smart option for maintaining stable blood sugar levels. While highly nutritious, pairing them with vitamin C-rich foods, like citrus or tomatoes, can further enhance iron absorption. For those seeking healthier meal options, green lentils are a wholesome choice that supports a variety of dietary preferences, including vegan and vegetarian lifestyles.
