What Lentils are doing on the Longevity Blog?
From the studies of the Blue Zones to meta analysis, consumption of legumes in dose dependant manner is associated with healthy aging:

The only downside of the legumes – you can’t eat them raw. And even cooked they might have a questionable taste.
So, to get more health and legumes into your life we need an easy way to cook them and make them palatable at the same time.
After some research and experimentation I’m happy to report that it’s possible! In fact it tastes so good that people will come for the second and third serving!
Lentils are a perfect legume in that regard, they are easily digestible, have a good amino acid profile (especially when sprouted), plenty of fiber and ready to absorb all the flavors you are adding in the process.
