Organic Red Lentils All Bio 500gr

.....known as the Egyptian lentil
Lentils have been part of the human diet since the Neolithic era, and were one of the first improved crops in the Near East.
Archaeological evidence shows that they were eaten 9,500 to 13,000 years ago. In our time, Turkey has the largest production rate worldwide (over 80%). One of its various colors is the red-orange, the red lentils known to us, which contain a lower concentration of fiber than green lentils (11% instead of 31%) and due to their size, they boil faster (about 15 minutes).
They are more digestible, especially for people with irritable bowel syndrome. With about 30% of their calories coming from protein, lentils have the third highest protein level, by weight, of any legume, after soybeans and hemp. Protein includes the essential amino acids isoleucine and lysine. Lentils also contain fiber, folate, vitamin B1, and minerals. They are also a very good source of iron, containing over half of a person's daily recommended intake of iron in a one-cup serving.
