How healthy are lentils really? This is what happens when you eat them every day. 100 grams of lentils contain around 10 percent important proteins, which puts them at the forefront of the most protein-containing plant foods.
Red lentils are the healthiest and also the easiest to process. Purines increase uric acid levels in the body, therefore people with gout or an acidic stomach should avoid eating lentils or purines at least at least once a week.
