Fiber fills you up, too. Lentils have plenty of it. A single serving meets 32% of the fiber you need each day. It can lower cholesterol and protect against diabetes and colon cancer. A daily dose of fiber pushes waste through your digestive system and prevents constipation, too.

Though different types of lentils may vary slightly in their nutrient content, 1 cup (198 grams) of cooked lentils generally provides the following ( 4): The lentil ( Vicia lens or Lens culinaris) is an edible legume. It is an annual plant known for its lens-shaped seeds. It is about 40cm (16in) tall, and the seeds grow in pods, usually with two seeds in each. As a food crop, the largest producers are Canada and India, producing 29% and 27%, respectively, of the world's total lentils in 2021 [update]. Lentils are used worldwide in many different dishes. Lentil dishes are most widespread throughout South Asia, the Mediterranean regions, West Asia, and Latin America. Dal tadka (lentil soup)a b c Shyam S. Yadav; David McNeil; Philip C. Stevenson, eds.

A major part of the world's red lentil production undergoes a secondary processing step. These lentils are dehulled, split and polished. In the Indian subcontinent, this process is called dal milling. [3] The moisture content of the lentils prior dehulling is crucial to guarantee a good dehulling efficiency. [3] The hull of lentils usually accounts for 6 to 7 percent of the total seed weight, which is lower than most legumes. [15] Lentil flour can be produced by milling the seeds, like cereals.

L. culinaris ( L. esculentus), the domesticate, differs from the wild species in having indehiscent pods, due to a single recessive gene, and nondormant seeds.If you’re trying to minimize the number of lectins in your diet, try soaking lentils overnight and discarding the water before cooking them. Tannins One animal study found that consuming lentils helped lower blood sugar levels and that the benefits were not solely due to the carb, protein, or fat content ( 11).
