All legumes are an important source of quality vitamins and proteins, providing essential minerals such as Iron, Calcium, Zinc, Potassium, Phosphorus and Magnesium and some B and E complex vitamins.
Legumes are seeds. They belong to the plants of the legume family, widespread throughout the planet. In Italy the most used legumes are beans, peas, lentils, chickpeas and broad beans, while lupins and grass peas are less common. In the rest of the world, one of the most cultivated legumes is soy. They are a fundamental food within a healthy diet due to their supply of proteins, carbohydrates, fiber and mineral salts (iron, calcium, zinc, potassium, phosphorus and magnesium).

Dried legumes are rich in proteins: on average 25-30% of the energy (i.e. calories) is provided by proteins, while the remainder mainly comes from carbohydrates and to a lesser extent fats.
However, the amino acid profile present in legumes is not complete, in particular they are deficient in methionine and cysteine, two essential amino acids that our body is unable to synthesize on its own. However, overcoming this problem is very simple: just combine them with cereals (for example pasta), whose amino acid profile is perfectly complementary to that of legumes and allows you to obtain all the essential amino acids. It is not necessary to eat them together in the same meal, just take them both during the day.

ideal for:
They are excellent for preparing soups also accompanied by carrots and celery. They can also be enjoyed mixed with pasta or as a base for savory pies or side dishes. Also try them in a salad with seasonal tomatoes and chopped parsley.

Preparation:
The Small Green and Red Lentils do not need to be soaked, but only washed in running water and can then be boiled immediately.
