The lentil is a food with a high concentration of nutrients. Carbohydrates are the most abundant and consist mainly of starch. Their vegetable proteins, but in quantity, are incomplete, since they are deficient in methionine (essential amino acid). However, if you combine the lentils with grains such as rice, foods rich in amino acids, they become high biological value protein, comparable to those that are in food of animal origin. The lipid content is very low. The input fiber, while important, is also below that of other legumes. As for vitamins, are rich in B1, B3 and B6, and not so folic acid. Abundant zinc and selenium, but especially in iron, although, as in other plant products, it is hardly absorbed in the digestive tract, being the meat the best source of this nutrient. Package: 500g
