I love lentils. I really love it so much. And I try to cook it once a week because it has a lot of benefits and if you don’t eat meat (we rarely eat meat) you need to add proteins in your diary diet.

In the same way, the lentil has a lot of health benefits not only to be high in proteins. The lentil is high in iron and fiber, it stabilizes your blood sugar, increases your energy. As well as if you are on a diet, you should eat lentils because the lentil is low in calories and cholesterol.

So if you are a lentil’s lover like me and you want to grow your recipes, just continue to reading and I’ll teach you my new recipe: Lentil Salad with Mushroom, Lemon, and Arugula. It’s absolutely delicious!
