Lentils

Lentils are small, lens-shaped legumes that are a rich source of protein, fiber, and essential nutrients like iron and folate. They come in a variety of colors, including green, brown, red, yellow, and black, each with slightly different flavors and textures. Lentils cook relatively quickly compared to other legumes, making them a convenient and versatile ingredient in a wide range of dishes such as soups, stews, salads, and curries.
