Lentils with orange peel. This “humble” food, apart from very tasty, is one of the oldest foods of humanity and has beneficial properties for our health! Protects from coronary and cardiovascular diseases, rich in fibers, and 500 grams of lentils contain more proteins than 500 grams of beef! They are very popular for their high iron content, while containing only few calories! So lentils are a real treasure and we must establish them in our diet.
