Lentils: Complete Sugars and Carbohydrate Profile

Lentils: Considered a good source of carbohydrates?

Lentils are not a good source of lipids. Lipids, or fatty acids, are an important part of our diet and provide us with energy and essential fatty acids for many bodily functions. While lentils are considered a “high-fiber” food, they are low in fat and do not contain enough lipids to meet our body's daily needs. Lentils also lack some of the other macronutrients that make up an optimal balanced diet, including omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. Therefore, while lentils can be included as part of a healthy diet, they should not be relied on as a primary source of lipids.
