Red lentils are a must for people in the Middle East to cross the desert

There is a proverb in the Middle East: "When you want to cross the desert, you need three things: a camel, a bag of lentils and a pot of water". Li Wanping, a nutritionist at Rongxin Clinic, said that Taiwan does not produce lentils, so few people paid attention to lentils in the past. However, lentils are very important foods in the Middle East, Europe, America and India. The protein content of green lentils is considered to be better than that of beef and soy milk. In addition to the same nutritional value as green lentils, red lentils have more orange red lentils. With "orange and red phytochemicals", it is more nutritious.

Red lentils are rich in iron, and female vegetarians can take iron supplements quickly protein and 15 grams of fiber. Li Wanping said that red lentils are higher in B group content and also contain iron, which is a good source of iron supplements for women and vegetarians.

High potassium, kidney disease and arrhythmia patients be careful

In addition, red lentils are also rich in potassium. For ordinary people, high potassium can help control blood pressure, but patients with kidney disease should be careful to avoid excessive potassium ions. Patients with arrhythmia should also be careful to eat, so as not to worsen the arrhythmia due to high potassium.

Boiled with cereals or soybeans, the protein is more complete

In addition to being cooked with ten-grain rice, red lentils can be cooked with cereals or soybeans, which can provide more complete protein. Because lentils are second only to soybeans and hemp seeds, and have the third highest protein content in beans and nuts, they lack an essential amino acid: methionine. Cooked with cereals or soybeans, protein nutrition is more nutritious. Complete and can be absorbed and applied.

Lentils are easy to gelatinize and do not need to be thickened when cooking thick soups

Li Wanping said that lentils are often used in Europe and India to "stew" because they are different from ordinary beans in that they will melt after being boiled for a long time. Make the food taste more dense. When stewing with meat and curry, you don't need to add any glutinous rice flour, the soup can become very thick, so it can be eaten not only with bibimbap, but also sandwiched in the roti crust, which is delicious.

Rich in fiber, 1 cup can provide half of all-day dietary fiber needs.

You can also steam red lentils and mash them into refried beans. It is also delicious to make red lentil fillings and wrap them in cakes. Li Wanping said that red lentils are easy to cook, so they cook quickly with rice. Red lentils are not only high in nutritional value, but a cup of red lentils can provide half of the dietary fiber content required for the whole day. It is a good choice for those who want to maintain a good figure and have good physical strength.
