1. I love lentils so much! Most protein of any whole plant food and most antioxidants of all the legumes!

2. Lentils is a very versatile food, which can be cooked in many ways, both in pate, hummus, hamburger etc. They provide a lot of iron and are very nutritious. I love lentils💟🙏💪🌱

3. Now you know you’re really vegetarian/vegan/plant based when you sit down & WATCH 53 minutes of a lentil documentary. I’m a certified Lentil Lover.🎖

4. “Poor man’s protein” ? I’m sure he means the “smart man’s protein”.

5. After adopting a plant based lifestyle since January of this year, I am researching on high protein enriched plant foods that I can build my agribusiness around in my far remote island country. Lentils has been a go to protein source for caloric consumption, so learning how to grow it and versatility is why I find this documentary so fascinating. In agreement that lentils is the future food source due to it’s high yielding crop return especially our island communities across the South Pacific.

6. Thanks to this documentary I now know what lentil plants look like, rather than just bags of ‘em on the store shelves. …And now have a deeper appreciation for such a humble legume / pulse.

7. Lentils are one of my staple foods now. I credit lentils as one of the main plants that allowed me to go vegan and thrive.

8. During the pandemic when most people were emptying store shelves the only thing I picked was bags of lentils.

9. I absolutely love lentils! I bought a large bag (5 lbs, I think) just as corona virus was taking hold of a lot of people. There’s a channel on You Tube called “Great Depression Cooking With Clara”. One of her recipes uses lentils. I made her recipe right after seeing her video and it was delicious! I experiment/modify it by adding a variety of veggies and spices. Lentils are dirt cheap, which is good for me. I lost my job a year ago but, just recently got another one. So, living like a Depression person turned out to be awesome! I limited my food budget to $25.00 a week. You’d be shocked at how well you can eat cooking with just staple foods like beans, rice, lentils and your imagination. I have an organic garden and organically-fed chickens (for eggs only) so, that stretches my food money, despite buying feed for them. I used to work with a woman who was originally from Dominican Republic. She gave me a recipe using beans and spices and herbs I already have. Total yumminess!

10. I love lentils. My grandma always made delicious lentil and vegetable soup every Lent season. As a child I thought lentils were the official food for the Lent season.

11. Love lentils and longer form documentaries like this! Keep up the good work!

12. Does anyone know the recipe for the dish (at 7:28) that the lady cooked early in the film to add to flatbread as a complete meal. Am a lentil novice so would very much appreciate simple recipes. Thank you.

13. We take so many things from granted. Looking at all the effort and work this people have to endure to harvest a cup of lentils make me tear up. Now every time I see a bag of lentils I will see it with a different eyes. It is the humble pearl of the earth indeed. We don’t appreciate God’s creation enough.

14. That’s why they were called LENTils

15. I’ve been eating lentils nearly every day for the last couple of weeks. I started sprouting lentils and I’ve been putting the sprouts in almost every meal. I add them to salads, soups and stews, and I put them on my sandwiches instead of lettuce. They take only a couple of minutes to cook after they’ve sprouted and apparently they are much better for you once they’ve sprouted. The sprouting gets rid of a lot of the anti-nutrients, such as phytic acid. I’ve been sprouting mung beans and mustard seeds as well. I’ve now got lentils, other pulses and seeds sprouting continuously now, so that I don’t run out. I love them. I’m not a vegetarian or vegan though. I still eat meat, but not a huge amount.

    I remember my mother telling me over fifty years ago that beans on toast (a common cheap meal here in the UK) was highly nutritious because the protein in the beans worked with the bread to give you a perfect meal. It turns out she was right, according to this documentary.

    I felt very uncomfortable about seeing the endless fields of ‘clean field’ lentils in Canada. They use Roundup from Monsanto (now Bayer, I think), to kill everything else. That is horrific. It makes farmers reliant on the chemical industry for seeds. Once they are in, they can’t get out. And it means that we are being sold products that probably contain traces of poison. I agreed with the Indian lady. It is much better to develop seeds naturally and to plant a variety of seeds so that if one fails, others will succeed.

    Note: most sprouts are not edible raw. Lentils are okay. Kidney beans especially, should be boiled hard for at least ten minutes.

16. I’ve just recently begun to see my food as being sacred along with water..I decided to do this to enhance my desire to be a drug free vegan and include Tai chi, meditation and bodyweight exercises. .I plan on including more lintels in my diet and also mixing in with my dogs food.

17. Started WFPB no fat last year my husband, I and my 11th year old daughter had major great changes. It was the best decision that solved all our health problems. It was really like a miracle. When I see all the people suffering from so many health issues I feel like I want to tell everyone to try this.

18. That was extremely fascinating! I love lentils but this is such a bigger picture! thank you for this!

19. 🙏🏽🌱 Wow – thank you for making such a thought provoking documentary on not only lentils, but future sustainability in cosmic cataclysm, rural farming, fighting poverty, nutritional content, seed eco activism, the detrimental effect of mass farming using herbicide, to not only seeds/nutrition but to villagers living in poverty and women’s issues in farming. This was incredibly interesting and well assembled. I found it truly empowering on so many levels, thank you. 🙏🏽🌱 💝

20. It’s such a pretty plant with such a nice little flower.

22. I like to blend them up with some kefir or some other room temp culturing medium (sauerkraut juice might work?), let it culture for a couple of days, and then spice it up, or add some tahini or the like. The culturing adds interesting flavors, and more importantly, makes it even easier to digest and the nutrients that much more bio-available.

23. I so agree with you have a better understanding of the work and love for people as nd familys to bring us to all you do thanks

24. @bansalsn how would you use lentils for a desert???

25. “Without lentils we are nothing” – says everything

26. im an Indian, and lentils are a staple food in our diet. they are truly a blessing. SUPERFOODS

27. Just be careful with the no fat for your daughter. She is still growing and needs some, not necessarily a lot, but a handful or two of nuts and seeds will do her very well

28. ~ Love that you’re putting lentils in your dogs food.

29. @Ruby Tuesday Thanks Ruby

30. You should vompile a book of your best recipes and sell it. E-books can be self published easily.

31. @Naturebound Stock pile those beut lentils🤣

32. @Ceolbeats I’ve noticed also when individual foods are singled out and revered, people rush to buy them thinking they have magical properties all by themself that is going to improve health. So there becomes a very high demand for them that suppliers cant keep up with. I’ve seen this with quinoa, coconut, almonds and many other foods. It helps to be flexible and eat a wide variety of food so as not to place too much demand on one food. I eat many types of beans, canned and dried, and when red lentils were hard to find, I learned to make other types of Dahl or add black lentils or ground walnuts to Bulgur taco “meat “. Or chickpea loaf instead of lentils, though chickpeas can also sometimes be out of stock around here. Food shortages all around are sadly becoming common place. I love Ezekiel sprouted bread but yesterday two grocery stores were out, so I am forced to make my own. I cant give in to the more industrial commercial breads. Sighs.

33. @Naturebound Totally agree with u👍🏽 Minus tinned stuff, Dahl can b made from any bean on planet 😋

34. Heh, mine was done to 6€ a week. Baked sourdough bread and ate it with lentils for many months. Worked out fine!

35. @the LT station True.

36. Me too. Great food source.

37. I totally agree with you about never looking at a bag of lentils the same. I definitely plan to include more lentils in my plant-based lifestyle! Yes it is very humbling to see how hard they work compared to using the ploughs in Canada! (I live in Canada)

38. This so true of a statement much work goes into lentil harvesting , it’s such a super food! 🙏🌎

39. @V364N S7R0N6 A god that doesn’t actually exist isn’t going to be solving too many problems, now is he?

    But it’s hilarious how believers twist themselves into pretzels trying to explain how the world can possibly be the way it is in the presence of their omniscient and benevolent god. Obviously then there must be Mysterious Reasons why suffering is a good thing.

40. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

41. Best tasting of all the beans, cooks easy. Also goes with many different foods well taste wise.

42. Wow

43. @S Mudge I agree with you 100 percent.

44. True,but you must combine with wholemeal bread to get the correct amino acid balance.

45. I eat lentils everyday I’m so healthy!

46. That’s what I’m doing today as foods prices are on the rise!….I’m better off eating lentils everday 😀

47. Lentil burgers home made are delicious. Sometimes i make a big batch and freeze a part for future consumption

48. You’re never alone with lentil

49. @the LT station yes but not the Red ones

50. Let’s here it for the dal

51. Lentils are a plural

52. @Mohit Somani Are Indians growing GMO crops?

53. Sweet potatos cover all the bases, they have all the nutrients.

54. @JA Delight What killed the Royals?

55. @kimberly maxey What meat would that be?

56. @Leave Follow Check out the rice diet.

57. @John Sherman Price loosely correlates with environmental cost as it factors in all the transportation, resources used in production, etc. The only reason why meat isn’t prohibitively expensive is because of subsidies. We should get rid of those and shift them to healthier food options that are better for the planet. That would probably help with world hunger as well. Lots of poorer countries use too much of their land for animal agriculture exports to feed their own people.

58. @John Sherman And that doesn’t even include the negative externalities that in some ways we are paying for without knowing it. Workers in animal ag and slaughterhouses have higher rates of diseases like cancer and mental health problems. Communities surrounding have higher levels of domestic abuse. If more people were aware of all the idiocy of a society that eats tons of meat when we don’t need to, they might eat a bit less of the stuff.

59. Daniel ate lentils in Babylon

60. I agree. Lentils are great. Although during Indian cooking class I learned that Indian cousine requires large amounts of oil. That is not healthy, and rather killing you. I grew up on the food with fat and oil in Europe.

    We can’t change our past, but we can change our future. Now I cook without oil and my food tastes great too. I like to cook international foods without use of oil😍🥰😍

61. @julian shepherd you mean because of the gas?

62. @Voidisyinyang Voidisyinyang there has been a lot of fearmongering not just about glyphosate but also regarding other substances and GMOs. Almost everything of it is irrational or based on bad studies.
    If it wasn´t a big advantage for farmers, they wouldn´t use it and save the money.

63. Or you like documentaries or you like farming/gardening or you like learning about global cuisines or you care about eating healthy or you want to learn about biology or you’re just a big nerd like me

64. @Arthas Menethil yes🙃😆

65. @Mohit Somani yeah that’s one thing I’ve always found really ironic about India. On paper they eat ome of the healthiest diets on earth: lots of lentils, whole grains, and vegetables but they cook so many foods (even pickles!) Filled with oil. Their favorite oil (ghee) is one of the least healthy oils since its packed with saturated fats like butter but since its clarified it’s got less moisture and even more fat then normal butter. Same with their yogurt, its traditionally made with very high fat milk so it’s got less protein and more fat then the similar greek yogurt.

66. It kind of is. When lent was first celebrated they often ate beans as their protein, same with similar meat free greek and roman holidays.

67. I like this weblog very much, Its a real nice billet to read and obtain info .
