lentils
Pasta, rice and pulses
Whether green, red or brown - lentils are versatile and healthy. They contain high-quality protein and fibre. Hence they are an optimum protein source for vegetarians and can help in weight loss. As the complex carbohydrates in them are broken down by the body only slowly, the blood sugar levels stay stable and hence one feels satiated for long. Lentils with husk have a high amount of nutrients as these are found in the husk. They are soaked overnight and should generally be washed well before cooking. Lentils without husk are more easily digestible that those with it.
