Lentils, Cooked
Cooked lentils are nutrient-dense legumes prized for their high plant-based protein and dietary fiber content, offering approximately 18g of protein and 15g of fiber per cooked cup. These lens-shaped seeds cook faster than most dried beans, with varieties ranging from firm green lentils that retain their shape to red lentils that soften into a creamy texture. As a gluten-free food rich in iron and folate, they serve as a versatile staple in global cuisines, commonly featured in soups, salads, and meatless dishes requiring sustained energy from complex carbohydrates.
