Brown lentils are a staple legume for every household. They are high in protein and fiber—in fact, they have one of the highest ratios of protein to food energy of any plant (second only to the soybean)! That alone makes them a worthwhile addition to your pantry, but it’s not all they offer; they’re also packed with iron, zinc, folate, potassium, and magnesium, making them a fantastic source of basic nutrients and vital minerals.
Brown lentils’ versatility and convenience make them a great foundation for a quick and nutritious weekday meal, as they don’t need to be soaked prior to cooking and are ready in under 20 minutes. They taste delicious in hearty soups and salads, and make a satisfying stuffing for poultry, peppers, or squashes. They are also used for sprouting!
