Today am going to write about legumes n Lentils. These super r foods packed with vital nutrients. They r high in protein, low in fat. They r packed with some carbohydrates n dietary. They provide us vitamins B6, A, C. They provide calcium, iron, Folate, Zinc n some other vital minerals which r essential for our health.
In Indian cooking these Lentils n Legumes r an essential part. we all have some favourite dishes like Rajma chaval, Chole Bature, Kaabuli chana Moong daal kichidi etc..... we do remember our Mothers adding green peas n chickpeas in some curries like cabbage, brinjal, grated coconut n some leafy vegetables also. In our temples also especially in South India they give cooked chickpeas as Prasad on some festivals.
These foods help us in fighting obesity also. We can loose weight without loosing the intake of vital nutrients. If u include these in ur daily meals, u can easily achieve the requisite results. Beans, chickpeas, Kidney Beans, Lobia, double beans, Peas n Peanuts r some Legumes. Nuts also come under this category. Lentils r also of this group.
