Beef up your diet with lentils
Compared to other types of dried beans and pulses,
lentils are relatively quick and easy to prepare. They
readily absorb a variety of wonderful flavours from other
foods and seasonings and are high in nutritional value.
Cooked lentils provide 18 grams of protein per cup,
with less than 1 gram of fat, negligible saturated fat
and no cholesterol. In comparison, other good sources
of protein, such as beef, poultry and fi sh, contain much
higher amounts of saturated fat and cholesterol. In
addition, lentils are rich in fi bre, vitamin B1, iron and zinc.
