Nutritional Value
Lentil is a small but nutritionally mighty member of the legume family. It is e a very good source of cholesterol-lowering fiber. It manages blood-sugar disorders since its high fiber content prevents blood sugar levels from rising rapidly after a meal. But this is far from all lentil has to offer. Lentil provides excellent amounts of vitamin B, protein and it has virtually no fat (Great news for weights watchers!) The calorie cost of all this nutrition? Just 230 calories for a whole cup of cooked lentils.
