More About Lentils:

Lentils are legumes (beans) that have been cultivated for thousands of years. The actual size of a lentil is about 1/4 inch.  They are mentioned in the Bible in 2 Samuel 17:28, 23:11 and in Ezekiel 4:9 where they are one of the ingredients of Ezekiel’s bread.  Nutritional information: a 1/4 cup (dry) serving of lentils (32 grams) has no fat, 19 grams of complex carbohydrate – 10 grams of which is digestible (40 calories) and 9 grams in the form of dietary fiber – and 8 grams of protein (32 calories).  A serving of lentils also provides 15% of our daily requirement of iron. See a more complete nutritional charts below for raw and cooked lentils.
