another post about lentils because there can never be too many posts about lentils

in the last couple of years, I have become a huge fan of lentils - more specifically, red split lentils...I haven't had as much success with other types. 

there is no downside to these lentils. They are cheap and you can buy them in large quantities, they are so easy to cook, versatile || you can cook them with a wide variety of vegetables, herbs, spices and so on || they are absolutely delicious, and they are very, very good for you. 

lentils go a long way towards answering the question of, if I adopt a vegan or vegetarian diet, how can I make sure that my body gets all the different types of nutrients it needs? One of the main issues is protein because for many of us, meat is our main source of protein. Lentils have almost as much protein as steak. They shouldn't be your only source of protein though because there are some things they don't give you, so you should also eat things like brown rice, soy products, other legumes, beans, as well.
