Following up on our lentil shepherds pie recipe from yesterday, I thought I would share some of the health benefits of the humble lentil.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Firstly, lentils are a fabulous pantry staple! In these times when we are shopping less, and working with what we have more, lentils can go such a long way! Red, brown, black and green lentils are all wonderful options and can be turned into soups, savoury pies, meatless meatballs, curries, dahls. SO many delicious options! And cheap too! We buy our lentils from our local Indian grocery, which has a great variety and allows us to support a local small business.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Health wise, lentils are a wonderful source of plant based protein. 1.5 cups of cooked lentils has as much protein as a 85g piece of chicken! When combined with brown rice, lentils are a complete protein, giving you a rich source of amino acids. Protein aids in muscle growth and synthesis and gives us energy!⁠⠀
⠀
Lentils are rich in iron as well! A great plant 🌱 based option for vegans and vegetarians. ⠀
⁠⠀
Research has shown that lentils can lower cholesterol, stabilise blood sugar, are low in fat and excellent for cardiovascular health.⁠⠀
