Did you know ?
- Lentils are good for the line: Low in calories and with a very low glycemic index, they provide us with long-term energy without causing the blood sugar level to explode! In addition, they stall, so goodbye untimely cravings.
- Lentils to fill up on protein and iron: Good news for vegetarians! (well not for our recipe, even if you can obviously remove the meat). It is rich in iron (3,3mg/100g) and protein (26% raw, 9% cooked), essential nutrients for energy and tone.
- Lentils, a concentrate of minerals: In addition to iron, there are also magnesium, potassium, phosphorus, copper, manganese and calcium.
- Lentils, an excellent source of fiber: Very rich in fiber, these legumes will cover almost half of the daily needs with just a 100g portion.
- Lentils are rich in antioxidants: Another health benefit, lentils contain many antioxidants from the flavonoid family (catechins, procyanidins, saponins). In addition, recent studies have shown that among them, some could fight bad cholesterol and lower blood tryglycerides, but also slow the development of cancer cells in the body.
