About Lentil raw
Lentil Raw refers to uncooked lentils, which are small, lens-shaped legumes originating from ancient regions like the Middle East and Mediterranean. These versatile seeds are staples in global cuisines, particularly Indian, Middle Eastern, and Mediterranean dishes. Packed with nutrients, raw lentils are an excellent source of plant-based protein, dietary fiber, iron, folate, and complex carbohydrates. They are naturally low in fat and contain essential minerals like potassium and magnesium. Lentils are celebrated for supporting heart health, digestion, and maintaining stable energy levels. However, raw lentils contain antinutrients like lectins and phytic acid, which can interfere with nutrient absorption and may cause digestive discomfort if consumed uncooked. For optimal health benefits and easier digestion, cooking or soaking them before eating is recommended.
