Lentils

Lentils are actually one of the oldest plants that date back as early as 18,000 B.C. Archeological evidence indicates that they were cultivated in the Near East.

Lentils are an excellent source of protein (7.5 percent protein). They are deficient in the amino acids methionine and cysteine. They contain high amounts of soluble fiber. THe fiber can help you lower cholesterol And control blood sugar.

The Combination of Lentils and vegetables (Celery)

When you combine lentils with celery, garlic and onions you have a great meal. You cant go wrong with vegtables. particularly green leafy and colorful vegetables.  I especially like to eat  lentil soup with celery in the evening since it is low in carbohydrates.
