Benefits
Not only is lentil and carrot curry delicious but it is also loaded with lots of vitamins and minerals
and the cost comes out to under $2 per serving!I like to think of lentils as the superior of the
legumes because they are loaded with protein, fiber, folate, iron, and B vitamins. All of these
nutrients together play and important role in fueling good bacteria and reducing our risk of heart
disease.
