Health Benefits : Lentils

[mysteriouza]

Lentils are an excellent food, as the Bible often reminds us, they consist of 23.8 per cent protein, and 100g supplies abut two-thirds of an active man's daily protein needs.
They are also iron-rich, 7.6 mg per 100g and you should eat foods containing vitamin C at the same meal to improve absorption of this.



In addition, they contain good amounts of B complex vitamins, particularly nicotinic acid or B3, deficiency of which can lead to poor memory, irritability, and other signs of nervous wear and tear.
