Lentils are a major part of the Mediterranean diet for good reason. They’re chock-full of essential nutrients and rich in plant-based protein. In fact, there are 24.6 grams of protein per 100 grams of lentils, compared to chicken breasts’ measly 22.5 grams! They’re also high in dietary fiber, low in fat, and are a complex carb with a low glycemic index.
