Thanks for sharing. I read an article that says lentils have the highest level of nicotianamine and that it helps against COVID. Disclaimer: it says the study hasn't been peer reviewed.

We've got tons of spinach. Thanks for the link @RustBeltCowgirl.

I get passionate about lentils - seriously!

I love lentils. Boil them in a good broth, add some broccoli, black olives, tomatoes onions and garlic and you've got yourself a tasty meal.
Also, boil them until barely tender and add taco seasoning and use in place of meat. Although I love meat...just sayin'

@RustBeltCowgirl lentils are a staple in our pantry. This is a favourite winter soup at the moment.

Lentils are also a good source of protein for vegetarians & vegans.

Lentils are a staple in my house! Lentils, carrots, onion, diced pork, garlic and a bay leaf!! Add a homemade loaf of bread and you have one of my families fall/winter meals!

@Monek Marie you might be able to mix cooked lentils in tomato sauce, it gives the texture of a meat sauce. 😀

My go to recipe is to cook lentils in chicken broth with onions, garlic, bacon, diced tomatoes, sliced carrots, celery and parsley.
