Green Lentils Whole Dried Raw, Non-GMO Product of Canada Our Canadian sourced green lentils are an excellent source of protein and fiber, as well as packed with nutrients. Green lentils have a peppery, earthy flavour, and will maintain a firm texture after being cooked. Lentils can be easily incorporated into many dishes such as salads, side dishes and soups. Our bags are resealable and will store for 2-3 years in a cool, dry location. Rich in Plant-Based Protein: Green whole lentils are a powerhouse of plant-based protein, making them an ideal choice for vegetarians and vegans. With about 18 grams of protein per cooked cup, they offer a substantial protein punch that supports muscle growth, repair, and general body function. This high protein content also makes them a satisfying addition to meals, helping to keep hunger pangs at bay. Heart Health Ally: Packed with fiber, particularly soluble fiber, green whole lentils are beneficial for heart health. Soluble fiber helps to reduce "bad" LDL cholesterol levels in the blood, which can prevent the buildup of plaque in the arteries and lower the risk of heart disease. Additionally, lentils contain significant amounts of folate and magnesium, which are known to support heart health by improving blood flow and oxygenation throughout the body. Nutritional Powerhouse with Low Impact on Blood Sugar: Green whole lentils are not only nutritious but also have a low glycemic index (GI), meaning they have a minimal impact on blood sugar levels when consumed. This makes them an excellent food choice for individuals managing diabetes or looking to maintain stable blood sugar levels. Moreover, they are rich in essential vitamins and minerals, including iron, potassium, and B vitamins, which play crucial roles in energy production, oxygen transport, and overall cellular health.
