Lentils are a good source of plant-based protein, dietary fiber, and minerals such as iron, folate, and potassium. One summary in the listings notes roughly 20 g of carbohydrates and 8 g of fiber per ½ cup cooked; overall descriptions emphasize protein and fiber content.
Split lentils — especially many red and yellow varieties — tend to break down and cook quickly into a soft texture. Whole brown and green lentils, including French/Puy-style, are firmer and generally hold their shape during cooking.
