Lentils
Lentils are small legumes used worldwide in soups, stews, salads and side dishes; they're common in Indian, Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisines and prized for their earthy flavor and quick cooking. They are a good plant-based source of nutrients and provide 7.3g of fiber per 100g, which helps with digestion and slowing glucose absorption. Lentils are also valued for their plant protein, substantial folate and mineral content (notably iron, copper and manganese), and they contain modest amounts of antioxidant polyphenols that contribute to their overall health benefits.
