Lentils are loaded with fiber, especially soluble fiber, making it a low glycemic food useful for better weight management. The fiber helps reduce cholesterol and stabilize blood sugar (Bowden, 2007, p.88).

Lentils are moderate in protein, making them a great meat alternative (Bowden, 2007, p.88).

It is a good source for manganese, an important trace mineral essential for growth, reproduction, wound healing, peak brain function, and proper metabolism of sugars, insulin and cholesterol (Bowden, 2007, p.88).

Lentils are a great source of folate and at least seven minerals (Bowden, 2007, p.88).
