Lentils

People here the word "Lentils" and automatically they think of gross slimy glop that grandma used to try to make them eat.

They get a horrible wrap!

Lentils, a small but nutritionally mighty member of the legume family, are a very good source of cholesterol-lowering fiber. Not only do lentils help lower cholesterol, they are of special benefit in managing blood-sugar disorders since their high fiber content prevents blood sugar levels from rising rapidly after a meal. But this is far from all lentils have to offer. Lentils also provide good to excellent amounts of six important minerals, two B-vitamins, and protein-all with virtually no fat. The calorie cost of all this nutrition? Just 230 calories for a whole cup of cooked lentils. This tiny nutritional giant fills you up--not out.

Looking for something different try Red lentils. I cook lentils in stock. I used organic vegetable stock they only take just a minute. I use them as a sub to pasta. Great for people who are Vegan, gluten-free, or on a low-carb diet.

They are so tasty! give them a try and take off there bad wrap.
