Lentils are edible seeds of the legume family of foods, and they boast a variance of health benefits!

Lentils are protective against certain chronic diseases due to their high content of phenols, a protective plant compound. This high concentration of phenols has antioxidant, anti-bacterical, anti-inflammatory, and anti-inflammatory effects. Plus to top it off they're cardio-protective to boon heart health.

Lentils also support the digestive system thanks to their pre-biotic fibre content, meaning that the fibres in lentils benefit your healthy gut bacteria. As well as keeping your microbiome healthy this also reduces risks of colorectal cancer. Two for one!

The low glycaemic index of lentils helps improve blood sugar management, due to the release of their energy being nice and slow instead of a large spike. That pre-biotic fibre we mentioned earlier also helps to manage appetite control, due to fibre being incredibly satiating.
