Green Lentils 1000g

Lentils, like all legumes, have exceptional health benefits. They are a source of easily digestible protein. Lentil protein, right after soy protein, is the most easily absorbed plant-based protein by the body (85%). There are many types of lentils, such as red, green, yellow, brown, and black, but the nutritional values of the different varieties are comparable. Green lentils contain significant amounts of fiber. Fiber not only helps regulate blood glucose levels, improves heart and digestive system function, but also contributes to lowering cholesterol, removing toxins from the body, protecting against colorectal cancer, and type 2 diabetes. It also has a high iron content, which is beneficial for those who do not eat meat. One cup of green lentils contains 100 percent of the recommended daily intake of iron. This mineral plays an important role in the formation of hemoglobin in the blood and myoglobin in the muscles, which is responsible for transporting oxygen.
