Red 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. Red lentils are a source of B vitamins, vitamin K, magnesium, potassium, phosphorus, zinc, manganese, and copper. The high potassium content helps prevent hypertension, reduces the risk of stroke and heart disease, and lowers bad cholesterol levels in the blood. They are also rich in folic acid, recommended for women planning to conceive and for pregnant women. Thanks to their magnesium content, they help combat stress and insomnia, and prevent muscle cramps. They also contain a lot of fiber, which supports the functioning of the digestive system and contributes to overall health.
