The listing, 15 Red Lentil Seeds - Protein Rich has ended.

With about 30% of their calories from protein, lentils have the third-highest level of protein, by weight, of any legume or nut, after soybeans and hemp. Proteins include the essential amino acids isoleucine and lysine, and lentils are an essential source of inexpensive protein in many parts of the world, especially in West Asia and the Indian subcontinent, which have large vegetarian populations. Lentils are deficient in two essential amino acids, methionine and cysteine.However, sprouted lentils contain sufficient levels of all essential amino acids, including methionine and cysteine.

Lentils also contain dietary fiber, folate, vitamin B1, and minerals. Health magazine has selected lentils as one of the five healthiest foods. Lentils are often mixed with grains, such as rice or small pasta, which results in a complete protein dish.

Lentils are a good source of iron, having over half of a person's daily iron allowance in a 100g serving.

Dried lentils can also be sprouted by soaking in water for one day and keeping moist for several days.

I will send the seeds once the payment is made and the Listia verified address is sent.

Good luck bidding.
