Lentils, green and brown, whole, dried, boiled in unsalted water

Green and brown lentils are pulses. The figures here describe whole dried lentils that have been soaked and boiled in unsalted water. They mainly provide carbohydrate, plant protein and fibre, as well as vitamins and minerals. Per 100g, they contain 15g of carbohydrate, 7.8g of protein, 7.4g of fibre and 152µg of folate.

Protein supports the growth and repair of body tissues, while fibre helps maintain normal bowel function. Folate is needed for normal blood cell formation. These lentils contain only trace amounts of salt when cooked without added salt; adding salt, stock or sauces can increase the salt content of the finished dish.

About these figures
