Good Protein Source

Lentils may be one of the new hottest protein sources. These beans can be used in multiple ways including meat loaf.

They are a fairly economical way to expand your food dollar and get healthy nutrition as well. They come in different colors, brown being the most common. There are also red and green lentils.

Lentils are almost as good as soybeans in terms of their protein. Most soybeans today are genetically altered and if you find true lentils they are better for you.

Lentils like other beans do not require a presoak and they cook in 20 to 30 minutes.

In addition, lentils are a great source of folate, iron, and fiber.
