Lentil, which belongs to the legumes family, is used in many places in Turkish cuisine, from appetizers to soups, from meatballs to salads. From children to the old people, lentils can be consumed healthily by people of all ages. Lentils, which are very high in nutritional value, are a good source for body and brain development. Lentils are a useful energy source due to their high protein source. It is known that lentils facilitate digestion by increasing bowel movements.
