Abstrakt

Legumes, including lentils are characterized by a high nutritional value, but their importance in Poland is low. Leading producers of lentils are Canada, India, Turkey and the United States [1]. In Poland, only recently we appreciate its importance in the diet. Lentil is one of the richest sources of vegetable protein, fiber, vitamins C, PP and group B, and also contains calcium, phosphorus, iron, and folic acid. It has a beneficial effect on spleen, pancreas and stomach, it strengthens the activity of the kidneys and adrenal glands. It lowers cholesterol and prevents sudden increases of blood sugar.
