Description

Lentils are an easy-to-cook legume often used in salads, stews, soups and casseroles. They are also nutritious, providing you with several nutrients including fiber, folate, iron, potassium, phosphorus, calcium and protein. However, the protein in lentils is incomplete, as it does not contain sufficient amounts of all of the essential amino acids. Mixing small amounts of buckwheat and rice with lentils will provide you with a complete source of amino acids.
