Lentils are very interesting legumes. They are very rich in vegetable protein and fiber, as well as in minerals and trace elements (phosphorus, iron, manganese, copper, folate, zinc). They are more digestible than other legumes and have a shorter cooking time. Rich in lysine, they are complementary to cereals and improve the balance of a meal based on cereals and vegetables. They are shelled lentils (hence their color) that cook very quickly.
