Lentil seeds are one of the oldest food crops - first cultivated in the Middle East and tracing back 9,500 to 13,000 years. High in fiber and a good source of protein, these versatile legumes are packed with minerals, and virtually fat-free. Eat them sprouted or spiced; either way, you’ll find them excellent in salads. They also make great soups and are perfect for purees, such as Indian dal.
