Lentils are high in fiber and very nutritious.

Lentils are often overlooked, even though they’re an inexpensive way of getting a wide variety of nutrients.

For example, they’re packed with B vitamins, magnesium, zinc, and potassium.

Lentils are made up of more than 25% protein, which makes them an excellent meat alternative. They’re also a great source of iron, a mineral that is sometimes lacking in vegetarian diets (1Trusted Source, 3Trusted Source).
