According to tradition, eating lentils on New Year’s Eve attracts financial prosperity. Due to its many benefits, legumes are a health ally and should be on the menu at any time of the year.
Lentils are rich in vitamins and minerals. The food also has a good amount of fiber, a characteristic that helps promote the feeling of satiety and reduces the absorption of fats in the intestine.
