Lentils: The forgotten legumes
Beans’ little cousins pack in flavor and nutrients.

Lentils may be the least well known members of the legume family.

Like dried peas and beans, these plant-based foods are rich in fiber, protein, minerals and other nutrients with virtually no fat, according to the United States Department of Agriculture. They’re filling, inexpensive, available year-round and easy to flavor with spices and other seasonings.

Why is anyone still worried about fat in food. That ain't the problem. Sugar is.
