In the past, lentils were considered to be “poor people food”, because they are long-lasting, quite filling and inexpensive. But those days, when lentils were limited to the above mentioned benefits, are long gone. Lentils are extremely nutritious and healthy and have therefore gained popularity, especially among health-conscious people.
Lentils are high in protein and fiber and also contain many complex carbohydrates. Due to their high fiber content, lentils have a low glycemic index (Glyx). This means that they only permit the blood sugar level to rise slowly and therefore instigate a low insulin secretion. The fibers also provide a long-lasting satiety, a good digestion and they support the immune system, by absorbing and excreting toxins from the intestine.
