Lentils
This pulse is a great source of protein and carbohydrate in one neat little nibble! All lentil varieties are low in calories, have a low GI, yet remain rich in essential nutrients.
Amongst other things they contain a whopping 90% of the RDI for folate and 49% for manganese. Especially in a vegetarian diet lentils are beneficial as a source of iron to prevent against anaemia and its associated risks.
