Simple classic: Grandma's hearty lentil soup with sausages to warm up on cold days. In addition to their high protein and low fat content, lentils are full of vitamins, minerals and trace elements.

The legumes contain a particularly high amount of iron and valuable minerals such as potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, manganese, nickel, selenium and zinc. The body can also absorb all B vitamins, niacin, folic acid, as well as vitamins A and E by eating lentils.
