Lentils are nutritious, high in fiber and simply delicious. Vegans and vegetarians should regularly include lentils in their diet.
Depending on the variety, cooking can take some time. The trick is to soak the legumes overnight. Soaking makes lentils easier to digest and saves you energy. Salting them beforehand is beneficial as it reduces the phytic acid content. But salt can be added directly during cooking to loosen up the cell structures during the cooking process and soften the vegetables even more.
