Oh yes ' i have a qustion 🙂
how do you know that those orange lentils are healthier ?
cheers
In what respect is it healthier? Green lentils have more fibre don't they?
It'd be wonderful if you could post it to this specific video on nutritionfacts. org. This way more people benefit from the response, and I can actually provide you with links (which I can't do on Youtube). Thanks!
he flashed an image of the report of the study at 0:35 seconds … it's called
"Phenolic Substance Characterization & Chemical & Cell Based Antioxidant Actities of 11 Lentils Grown in the Northern United States" bu Baujun Xu & Sam K.C. Chang from the Journal of Agriculture & Food Chemistry in 2010
What about brown lentils?
Have you heard about black "beluga" lentils? I love them! Wondering how they measure up to the list of top lentil?
Lentils are considered one of the beans you don't need to pre-soak before cooking to neutralize chemicals that can give one intestinal gas.
Would have loved info on "why" they are healthiest…
Red lentils make my stomach sick….. the french one i love them they are the best
yaaaay 🙂 i'm eating lentils right now
this makes me sooooooo happy because I favorite. beans are black beans and my favorite lentils are red lentils….LOL
lucky me, those are by far my favorite. Half rice, haft red lentil, some veggies and beans (et spicy sauce) and i'm happy 🙂
Could we assume black lentils are even healthier because of the color?
pretty sure they are orange and not red
Yea!!! What about the Black lentils, they turn the water and everything, same with black rice and all those types. Tell us more!! <3333333
Lentils constipate me tho.
What about black, or "Beluga" lentils?
Sprout them even healthier because when they sprout they are ready to be grown into a plant or tree so have everything available nutrients more than non-sprouted IMO.
that was quick
What about black lentils?
Yes! I have my favorite Indian dal (lentils), Toor dal (yellow/orange), almost 4 times a week!
Thank you Doc! I have been nutritionally ignorant all my life & you have opened my mind & fed my brain. I will no longer slowly be killing myself from here on out❤️
I use BLACK lentil.
Can’t afford that shit lol. At least green lentils have half..
I prefer lentils over beans because from beans one can get gas whereas with lentils it is less.
black beans are slightly higher in antioxidants but red lentils have better nutrients overall. I love French lentils and they hold up better to cooking. red lentils are actually shelled or split? I believe and I wonder if this lowers fiber.
pardina/spanish lentil are the best 😀 at least for flavour lol
Можно ссылку на оригинал "Исследования бобовых", картинка на 0.16 секунде?
Thats good, I only like red lentils 😀
I cook my black beans with red beans! lol! I hit it this time,,,,tastes very good!
Have you ever grown lentils? They are produced in TINY pods containing just 2 lentils. I am amazed they are so cheap! They are hellish to try and harvest. I grew some a few years ago and after about an hour's work, I had about half a cup of lentils!
I eat black lentils
what about black and brown lentils??
Thank you for this info!
Indians no matter what love their dals (lentils), no matter what religion, race, ethnicity, language, we all have a variety to love !
What about black lentils??
What about black lentils?
Red are best, and the cheapest and the easiest to cook with.
Yay! Also MY FAV Thanks Doc. I lové your Work. So sound scientifically and informative.
Red lentil has a reputation of increasing uric acid. Is that a myth or fact?
Phenolic Substance Characterization and Chemical and Cell-Based Antioxidant Activities of 11 Lentils Grown in the Northern United States
Red lentils
How nice that I have red lentils in my pantry and black beans.
Sorry why/how?
but Dr. Greger, red lentils kind of suck and turn into complete mush that has a funny kind of salty but not salty taste
What about black lentils?
"Red lentils are healthiest." —> Why?
Based upon what?
Why would removing the nutritious coating make the lentil more healthy? Red lentils are just dehulled brown or green lentils…
yesssiiiirrrrrrr
Now whole foods, are they
