Bulk Dried Yellow Lentils 5 lbs

Description: BenefitsLentils have the third-highest level of protein, by weight, of any legume or nut, after soybeans and hemp. Proteins include the essential amino acids isoleucine and lysine, and lentils are an essential source of inexpensive protein in many parts of the world, especially in West Asia and the Indian subcontinent, which have large vegetarian populations. Lentils are deficient in two essential amino acids, methionine and cysteine. However, sprouted lentils contain sufficient levels of all essential amino acids, including methionine and cysteine.Lentils also contain dietary fiber, folate, vitamin B1, and minerals. The low levels of Readily Digestible Starch and high levels of Slowly Digested Starch, make lentils of great interest to people with diabetes. Lentils also have some anti-nutritional factors, such as trypsin inhibitors and relatively high phytate content. Trypsin is an enzyme involved in digestion, and phytates reduce the bio-availability of dietary minerals. Lentils are a good source of iron, having over half of a person's daily iron allowance in a one cup serving.
