Lentils: A Complete Food
Lentils are a very healthy food, ideal for nourishing the whole family. Nutritionists recommend consuming them at least once a week, due to their excellent nutritional intake. They are rich in phosphorus and potassium, as well as fiber, which promotes the proper functioning of cognitive and intestinal functions.
