Since red lentils are so high in fiber, they help to improve blood sugar control. Since Fiber is not digested, it is not absorbed by our body and hence does not raise blood sugar levels.
Lentils are rich in fibre, folate and potassium making them a great choice for the heart and for managing blood pressure and cholesterol. They are also a source of energising iron and vitamin B1 which helps maintain a steady heartbeat.
