Mom's insistence to eat lentils is accepted by all dietetics who urge us to consume legumes 1-2 times a week.
Legumes are one of the main food categories of the Mediterranean diet and throughout the history of humanity their primary role was to cover basic needs in energy and protein.

Legumes (beans, lentils, chickpeas), have no fat, have antioxidant activity and are rich in complex carbohydrates.
