Boiled Lentils and Folate

Nutritional Profile

  • Folate Content: Boiled lentils are an exceptional source of dietary folate (Vitamin B9).
  • Amount: One cup of cooked lentils provides approximately 358 micrograms of folate, which is nearly 90% of the recommended daily intake for adults.

Health Benefits

  • Cardiovascular Health: High folate levels help lower homocysteine levels, reducing the risk of heart disease.
  • Cellular Function: Essential for DNA synthesis, repair, and proper red blood cell formation, preventing anemia.
  • Blood Sugar Regulation: Combined with a very high dietary fiber content, lentils help stabilize blood glucose levels.

Dietary Recommendations

  • Inclusion: Incorporating boiled lentils into soups, salads, or side dishes is a highly efficient way to meet daily folate requirements without supplementation.
  • Absorption: Consuming lentils with a source of Vitamin C (such as lemon juice or tomatoes) can further enhance iron absorption, making this food doubly beneficial.
