Beluga Lentil Salad (Black Lentil)

Hello Dear Friends,

Last recipe of this week Beluga LentilsA nutritious and healthy salad recipe that I prepared with Black-Black Lentils. I love lentil soup, lentil salad, green lentil dish. Beluga Lentil, the smallest member of the lentil family, which is used very often in our kitchen, is a complete protein store. The black color changes as it cooks and becomes quite beautiful and shiny.

Just like the lentils we use, it is also very advantageous to cook quickly. We wash the lentils in 1 water and put them on the stove. After boiling, we boil it for 10 minutes and it is ready to use in salad :) It is enough to use 1 glasses of water for 3 glass of lentils. I do not use salt when boiling, there is no need to use it anyway. If you are going to use it while cooking, throw the salt a short time before you take it from the stove so that the skins do not peel off.

Also, I read that this lentil can be germinated and used in drinks and salads. I have almost a pack of lentils right now. I will share different recipes in the coming days.

I want to prepare a different article for beluga lentils, but for now, let me briefly talk about the benefits. It lowers bad cholesterol, keeps it full, lowers blood pressure and helps the nervous system to work effectively. Celiac and diabetic patients can also use it in their meals.

Love…
