I'm not a vegan, but watching your videos helped me reduce my meat consumption! Thanks and keep it up!
Congratulations!! For saving the planet
Same here. Mostly vegan diet.
Go vegan now.
Animals are not slaves, products or properties. Stand against injustice. Make the connection.
@@MrJosuesini but i eat meat to save the plants🥲
@@larisrohner9533 eat chickens then. theyre omnivores
My teenage son has been raised vegetarian/vegan (different times) and now has begun eating some meat. He didn't seem very happy about it but he's determined to "build muscle" and has been convinced that meat is the only way. Sooooo, I'm just watching these videos in the living room and I see that he's often joining me.
Tell him to eat cooked and raw greens every day-put some in EVERYTHING and watch them muscles Pop💪🏻🌱❤️
u could hv told him that horses and bulls eat grass but are bulked up.
U realize that horses and bulls have digestive tracts suited for digesting cellulose right
Lentils are staple food in India.
Love from India ❤️
@@ulises8419 fuck off.
One day you and your dad will realize you are just pawns in a rich mans world!

@James Parker this is the internet no one cares about punctuation lol . This is da internet no 1 cares about ur spelling lol .
Is crazy to misspell with autocorrect in every phone
How awesome that you’re not only passionate about plants, but then you go on to talk about how to reduce soft plastic use 👏
that pasta looks delicious. as a Mexican I've been eating lentils my whole life (along with other beans) but only when I became vegan I learned how healthy they were for you. thanks for the info!
I started eating pulses and barley from reading the Bible 🥰 and I also eat meat and give Thanks for all the good food I get to eat ❤️
I’ve been eating super clean and lentils and rice I eat a lot and low on meat I’m losing 3 pounds a week with no exercise I just got out of the hospital but when I’m well I’ll exercise
I am indian and in Ayurveda which is the ancient Indian medical system it is recommended to use dry ginger powder while cooking lentils. Never eat canned versions and always soak overnight, cook it in open lid pan instead of any cooker. While cooking the white foam can be removed which is usually the lecithin and other anti nutrients.
Thank you for the information, doing what you say.
True. I always remove the white foam
How much ginger?
So correct. To learn more you may watch
ua-cam.com/video/xyNA_hriUq0/v-deo.html
I have a huge respect for Indian culture. But please, do not spread misinformation. The content of the foam is basically same as the water it's cooking in.
I see no reason why you should avoid cookers or cook it in open lid. Fresh ginger is always the best, but it's fine to use whatever.
Pro tip: keep stashed few bags of lentiles for when you go broke.
I've been unemployed for almost 6 months and waiting for my next paycheck in 5 days, out of oatmeal and basic foods and saving my last remaining food i found an 2 year old bag of lentils, after dusting it off i washed them and left them rinsing overnight, today i cooked them with a clove of garlick, some onion and half a potato and salt and you got yourself lentils soup for the next 4-5 days. I'm buying a couple extra bags when my paycheck comes in.
@@estebandiaz8688 Been there, done that. Hope the check came through. Another nice side of lentils is that you don't need to rinse them overnight as is the case of beans. Cheap, nutritious and delicious... They're the perfect food!
@@estebandiaz8688 Keep at it good look on the job search. . I'm on the same journey
I was glad to find that I still have some lentils left but will get more soon, although I have many beans and peas.
I have 2 bags stashed because I have no money and I’m in the process of filing bankruptcy
I'm no vegan or vegetarian but lentils are the most commando type food ever.... Cheap and very very good for you. And as far as red lentils go you can basically look at them and blink three times and they're done
I have just tried out cooking this dish according to your recipe, and I must honestly admit it was one of the most delicious things I have ever eaten. I have boosted it with a small addition of mushrooms and a pinch of extra spices (pepper, oregano). Thank you for this inspirational video. Now after writing this comment I'm gonna grab another bowl. 😅
Nutritional yeast makes it way more delicious
3:00 amazing, I thought it was way harder, you don't know the amount of peace you brought to my heart
The idea for this video series was seriously gold, each one provides such a great breakdown of healthy foods, their history, any concerns about them, and how to prepare them/incorporate with meals, you definitely nailed it with this one. Hopefully this turns on people to lentils, they’re probably one of the most healthful foods you could possibly eat, super versatile, and best of all, really cheap. Keep it up with this series man, you’ve been killing it lately!
What a great idea for a series...love that you address purchasing package free/ low waste options. Thanks for including the background, nutritional breakdown and recipe! Keen for seeing what you develop next! 😍
Awesome! Glad you enjoy it. Feels a bit like a high school project each time, haha, but it's fun!
@@Simnettnutrition sorry in advance...for inappropriate comment...but geez Derek, my high school teachers certainly never looked like you! : )
I bet you have not thought about lentil chocolate chip cookies. This weekend I made them and they are to die for. Throw a pack of soaked and washed lentils in a food processor with eggs, butter, almonds, walnuts, pecans, sunflower seeds. Mix in chocolate chips, spices, sweetener of choice and bake in oven. These babies taste so much better than any chocolate chip cookies you could buy in the store. Yum, yum!
Red lentil bolognese sauce with spaghetti was such a comfort food dish for me as a kid 🍝
Will give your idea a try, thanks was wondering if that would be a good way for another vegan meal, still trying.
Lori Cash to
Howwwwww do you make it 👀
Definitely going to make vegan Bolognese sauce using lentils because of your comment, thanks!! :)
Everyone should eat at least a cup of lentils every day. I have a mix of red, yellow and black. Nutrition POWERHOUSE! ;)
I’m so glad that I came back to this video. My husband and I are taking a boxing class 1-3 times a day 5-6 days a week and I think my iron has been low because I get light headed easily during class. Thanks for the info, Derek! I REALLY appreciate it! You are one of the very few UA-camrs I enjoy listening to for sound information on health, nutrition, and a plant based diet!
Y'all still boxing?
Hey Derek, I am a dietitian, and I really enjoy your video and great info to share to your followers. Keep it up.
Thank you for reminding your healthy followers that lentils can be such an amazing addition to their meals, esp if people are on a budget. I really wish more people would recognize how great they are! I am out of kale but am going to make a version of this pasta for my husband for dinner tonight. Thank you again! :)
It seems like you're putting even more effort into making your video's recently. I love how educational this is. You're killing it dude! :)
My Mom lived till 91 and loved her lentils! I made lentil soup. I'm so excited!
You should try "koshary or koshari". It's the national dish of Egypt and it's made of rice, pasta, lentils, chickpeas, fried onions and tomato sauce. You'll definitely like it 😋
Amr Helal Koshari is amazing! Yum
I will try to look that up also❤️
I may not be a vegan but I have truly enjoyed every video you put out and it has helped me eat healthy and workout consistently while being in college. Thanks man 😄
I am visiting this video twice just to say that I eat lentils everyday, sometimes twice as well 😄
Same here!!
Sorry if this is rude, but do you fart a lot? I eat lentils about 3 times a week and it always makes me trouser toot. Best wishes from London.
@@RitchieRosson Start with small amounts. Use the red ones. Drink water. Maybe eat them with white rice, too many fibers can be an issue if your not used to them. Slowly you'll develop the bacteria you need to digest them properly. One more thing: if you have bloating issue stay with the same kind of lentils/beans until you adapt. In the meantime have an happy farting time! :-)
@@RitchieRosson trouser toot is the cutest reference to farty parties ive ever heard of.
The best reminder to stock up on some lentils is Derek with his love for them exuding from his eyes) 😍 Thanks, man, your uploads are the highlights of my week. They give me that extra boost of motivation and confidence before my workouts even when they're about food💪
Haha, I think it's just the ring light reflection. 🤣 Jks, thanks for the nice comment. I'm glad my passion comes through the screen. Have a great workout!
Thank you Derek! Purchased lentils for the first time this weekend. Adding it to my meal prep. I appreciate what you do. Keep crushing it!
Found your channel looking for calisthenics info and stayed for the “how to eat healthy and make gains”.
I am not vegan but I’m eating a lot of plant based, whole Foods and less animal protein due to your help. Feeling great, making healthy beginner gains.
Lentils frickin' ROCK! GREAT vid bro, thank you!
I know you love em! Saw your passionate comment on the PBN's video XD!
you talked about alittle bit of the pasta made with rice. i don't know if you did a video about rice but tat would be a great idea, specially how to buy rice and be sure that there is arsenic in it.
lets fart. lentils are awesome for smelly farts.
@@zaphodbeeblebrox3797 I think your mistaking them with baked beans. I have no issues with flatulence whatsever. There must be something else in your diet/gut causing the issue.
GREAT good
this is amazing man ! very informative. i am a middle eastern and although lentils are common dishes here but this is the first time I've learned these information in your first half of the video. a simple advice to cook lentils is to soak them for couple of hours before cooking as this makes them easier to cook and won't make you gassy afterwards.
I’ll buy a shirt from you when I’m fit enough to not give you bad publicity!
Brett Davis 😂
That is a mood. Him and Brian Turner! (Do Jon Venus and Nimai Delgado have shirts too? Lol, I don't need that many anyway.)
Brett Davis same here lol
krrez Fuck them, buy vegan gains shirts
Be proud of yourself you are moving in the right direction keep up the good work 🤘🏻
Lentils are amazing. I've eaten them since I was young. I love having lentils with tuna, mustard or sauerkraut, chili powder or sriracha, hemp seeds, onion and garlic powder, and bam. Super, super nom nom.
Bro I’m grateful to your channel, I’m only in my 2nd week of Veganism, and your channel was recommended amongst many others.
I watched PBN’s 52 minute doccie on LENTILS and I was shook at the benefits of the bean👌🏿 looked for recipes and yours popped up again and I love how you’ve prepared yours here along with other ingredients.
I am South African and Lentils grow pretty much everywhere here, been a very new veganist I’m soooo gonna five deep into eating them.
Thank you for your great content and educating many people out there,though I’m only on my 8th day of Veganism today,I’m mixing it with Intermittent Fasting, I feel good so far but the challenge is real, having to say no to meat,dairy,sugar,fizzy drinks after 41 years of my existence is no joke,I’m however,taking it one day at a time,I’m in no rush nor in competition with no one and this is a battle I want to win and prove to ignorant people that VEGANISM IS THE WAY and not only is it the way but THE BEST WAY TO THE BEST HEALTH out there.
After watching PBN’s Doccie and your enthusiastic approach to Veganism I am firmly convinced that THE MEAT INDUSTRY’s dominance is slowly but surely getting crippled.
My aim with this is to be a great example to my people that VEGANISM works,one can build a healthy body and mind through this lifestyle,if I can do it then anybody can do it.
Peace Be upon you bro and May your channel grow to a Million subscribers, I am new subscriber and love your channel, I will spread to my friends as soon as I reach the physique that’s gonna speak for itself😉 coz right now I’m not really there...I’m a cyclist,runner,walker and jump rope I’m a relatively fit guy,I’m a huge fan of Intermittent Fasting.
I took up a healthy lifestyle only last year in March 2020, when I began I was an obese blob at a scale breaking 92kg and with steady work over the past 12 months came down to a leaner 68KG, my goal is to get to as low as 65KG, with my new PBD I’m pretty certain I’m gonna get there, only then am I gonna start lifting weights to build muscle,I do have muscle but my body’s not as defined...by beginning October I should be ripped enough to show off,only then will I refer peeps to your channel should they ask how I did it with no meat and other dangerous sources of protein.
Your new fan✌🏿🇿🇦
For green lentils, tomatoes, green bell pepper, and garlic can be a saving grace. They work so well together in a soup. I didn’t like them as a kid but love them now
the documentary is really good! loads of interesting information
i love lentils too ! in France we often eat the green ones as a simple salad :cold with green onions or scallots,with a "vinaigrette" sauce : oil+vinegar +mustard ... so simple and delicious!
Ooooooo sounds good ❤️
Lentils are my favorite among the legumes--so easy to cook and I love them cooked in veggie broth, just by themselves--cold or hot, they are delicious! Also, love that fur baby!
Wow, great video!! Thanks! I also eat a bowl of green lentil stew (lentils, dried oyster mushroom, dried shiitake mushroom, and mirepoix of chopped&sauteed onion/celery/carrots), cut sweet corn and fussilli brown rice noodles, all topped with chopped scallions and chopped purple cabbage, and with a freshly-chopped Israeli salad on the side (tomatoes/cucumbers/bell peppers) erryday. It tastes so good I don't even need to spice it (I noticed that you didn't really spice yours, either--a testament to how tasty lentils + pasta can be!)
You are a warrior 👍
Thank you for mentioning that hunger is a problem AROUND THE WORLD. And not just in Africa. Tired of that narrative. Thank you!
Most of the world is uninformed, it’s very unfortunate.
AFRICA might be poor but we are the most HEALTHIEST...from South Africa 🇿🇦✌🏿😉
Yeah Haiti and Jamaica have a hunger problem as well 😆
@@Tlhakxza did you participate in those riots last week?
10% of Americans have food insecurity
Just subscribed, iv just started a plant based diet after having two spine operations and rained alot of weight and your channel is bloody awsome and very helpful thanks mate
How is your spine now Gavin?
I adore lentils! Especially the brown sort.
it’s great to see an intelligent approach to looking after health ……high five to you
I love lentils! I have a rainbow assortment in my pantry right now.
this is seriously the best channel on youtube, always worth it to spend time watching your videos!
I just started adding lentils to my rice- 1 cup raw puy lentils to 2 cups raw basmati rice - lentils cooked on the stove with onions and carrot and rice in a rice cooker and then mixed together- really tastes pleasant and not adding too much flavour so works as a healthier rice alternative! Have tried this with various beans and rice and this works the best so far
Sounds yummy ❤️
Me just starting out this new lifestyle of plant based eating! I bought tofu and spicy mashed and chick pee’s! I’m surprised that I really enjoy eating tofu. I bought morning star burgers.so I put some tofu on my burger. I’ve been eating oatmeal filled with blueberries.and cinnamon! Or a smoothie filled with blueberries and a banana and blackberries! Thank you for everything you do to help us!
I’m excited for this one! I eat lentil ALOT! Thanks to your curry recipe and that amazing lentil loaf you shared 😍😍😍😍 it’s so easy to add to my meal preps.
Oh yeah the LENTIL LOAF! I forgot to even mention that. Dang!
This reminds me of the book of Daniel, where Daniel and his three friends ask the king for fruit, veggies, water and beans! Nice! Thanks man!
Absolutely!!!❤️🌱💪🏻
Interesting
i dont know that story. does the king oblige? is it a biblical nutrition lesson? (just assuming cos i truly have no knowledge of it) if yes, that is just wild that we eat the same now that people wished for back then?
@@CastledarkDweller27 The king Nebuchadnezzar did oblige Daniel and Daniel requested to eat pulse (lentils, beans etc) and drink water for 10 days from the king instead of the Kings meats and wines which they had been living on for 3 years under the Kings orders. Daniel didn't want to defile himself anymore with the Kings meats and wines, Daniel wanted to prove to the king that he and his friends would be healthier eating pulse's and drinking water instead of the rich wines and meats the king had been offering them. After 10 days on this new eating and drinking regime the king saw how healthy the 4 friends faces looked compared to the Kings other servants who ate the meats and drank the wines and the king took away all meats and wine from the servants and gave them pulse's and water probably much to the kings remaining servants disgust and disappointment! After Daniel's 10 day experiment God gave Daniel and his three friends knowledge, wisdom and skill of learning and to Daniel the understanding of dreams and visions. You should read the story in the Holy Bible ( or Google Holy Bible Daniel 1:1-17 which is this story) it's very interesting why Daniel wanted to show the king the difference a diet can make to people physically and spiritually. The rest of the book of Daniel is also full of amazing spiritual insights too just like all the stories in the Holy Bible.
@@BRB929 i remember once trying to read the bible just for curiosity (non religious upbringing) and found when this one begat that one and that one begat this one....i just couldnt get past all the begatting!
but i WILL go find Daniel 1:1-17 and read the passages u suggested simply cos Daniel seems like a pretty smart & evolved kinda guy choosing fruit & veg with water & legumes over animal meats and alcohol. Thankyou for kindly answering my question.
They are so good and Split Peas also, they have 11 grams of insoluble fiber and 11 grams of protein per 1/4 cup of dried split peas, also 15% of the recommended Iron. Great video and super informative as always. 🥒🍃🌿🌱🥦🙌🏼🙏🏼🎥
I have never got into split peas much! Maybe I should.
@Nicky J They are so good. It's Ironic before I was vegan I used to have to go to the gym for at least an hour a day and always had trouble with my weight my entire life. I watched my carb intake and it was always a losing battle. High blood pressure for the last 12 years started when I was 30 and continually crept up on me. Finally I decided to go Vegan, I eat more food and Carbs than ever before, I have lost almost 50 lbs and I am down to 175 lbs, my highs chool weight, and I have perfect blood pressure for the first time in 12 years after trying every supplement and remedy under the sun to lower it.
@Nicky J Not to mention that as a bonus got the best Hobby ever. Getting to grow our own food with my Family.
Nicky J Absolutely, The last video I uploaded is a tour of our Garden here in zone 10a Florida. Things grow amazing here because it is warm almost all year.
Nicky J Thanks so much. 😊🥦🌱🥒🍃🌿🙌🏼. We are originally from Cuba and Taro is a pretty big part of the diet there along with Yuca and Sweet Potato. We had a lot of bunnies in our yard, but for some reason they did not eat the veggies up and eventually I think they grew up and moved some where else. Papayas are Perennials like the Pigeon peas and the longevity spinach, they give fruit for years. We give a lot away because they produce so much. Switching to a Vegan Plant Based diet has been the best thing I have ever done in so many ways. I am really grateful that I found the diet in early enough time to save my health and enjoy growing my own food for my family. So exciting to try so many new foods now that where off limits before because of carbs.
This video is amazing! Thank you a lot!!! I eat them everyday and know most benefits!
I try to let everyone who doesnt know what to eat when they try convert to more plantbased eating, to eat (more) lentils! However now I send them your video so easy to understand(great explaining!!) all backed up by facts!
Changing lives! Keep up the good work👊🏾
I am LOVING the lentil love!!! I have been using them for years. They are very cheap in bulk at Sprouts here in the states. I prefer the red ones personally but ill eat any of them. Lentils can easily feed and nourish the entire world for very cheap. I use them on my channel whenever I can. Whatever the question is, Lentils are always the answer baby!! Spread the lentil love!
awesome! Subscribed! ♥
Hey! Subscriber from the middle prairies of Canada over here!🙋♀️ Saskatchewan is huge for pulse farming. Love your content❤
This series is genius! Loving it. Thanks for all that you do, very informative and inspiring.
I love an appreciate how informative you were in this video! Thank you so much
Wow! I only just tried lentils today in my salad with watermelon and avocados and I didn’t think I would like it but it’s shockingly delicious. I bought it prepackaged at Trader Joe’s so you can eat it cold as is or heat it up, which I did. I’m going to try your pasta recipe, looks amazing. Big thumbs up.
Love that you share information about the humble lentil!! YAY for plant based protein wahoo
If you cook them with onions or garlic it ups the iron and zinc bio availability
I did not know that, thanks! I always flavor lentils with onion and garlic.
Hockey Mike Mike Mike as an Italian woman, I thought onion and garlic on everything not fruity was the law 😂
Daniel Meyers thank you!!
Try frying the onions tomatoes an garlic an a little jalapeno for a tastier flavor
I add those to everything anyways haha but thanks for the info!
Lentils are a beautiful food healthy delicious. Complete protein with rice.
Or any grain
Or any grain
Really like this guy's energy!
Lentils are the first protein rich plant food I fell in love with. They can be soft or hard and taske great with all sorts of spices.
Watching this while snacking on some sprouted green lentils, yum.
Sorry to be thick but do you cook the sprouted lentils or eat them raw?
Yess! Lentils are just so versatile and nutritious. The red split ones are really easy to cook so i combine them with quinoa and boom post workout meal sorted :P The green ones are better for stews in my opinion.
For the next episode chickpeas or oats would be sweet! THX!
I fixed this recipe but added more veggies ( a pepper squash and fresh corn) it was so delicious! Thank you for sharing
I like everthing especially the history/background of the foods. Helps me explain stuff to the curious around me. Thank you Derek.
just found your Channel.
What a sympathetic guy you are and great tips.
Thank you!
As a prepper, I just bought 100 pounds of lentils yesterday. Cheers fam.
Lentils never go bad! Good purchase
Hunter -you’d better wisen up my fellow human ❤️
My favourite food!! Big green Lentils cooked with potatoes, carrot, beetroot and cinnamon / turmeric mix . Served with tahini. I cook mine in a rice cooker but soak for 24hours first. So tasty!! Add a few walnuts and ground sunflower seeds at the end of cooking.
Hey man one idea could be a video on different teas? Like green tea, camomile etc?
Oh there's an idea!

Made kale, pasta, red lentils first time after watching your vid. Was delicious and will now be a regualr part of my diet. Thanks!
Top tips from a lentil lover!
-Cook with onion and garlic to increase the zinc absorption (I also like to add chopped raw pepper on top for VitC)
-The nutritional content differs between varieties (bit of info on google)
-If you struggle to eat a lot of lentils due to gas/bloating eat more red split lentils as they have half the fiber content (& therefore anti-nutrients) but are still full of nutrition and protein!
BONUS TIP: try cooking red split lentils with onion, garlic, mushrooms and gravy spices to make a thick red lentil gravy to pour over a big plate of veggies (easy meal)
Thank you Matt. I love lentils but they always make me Donald Trump a lot.
That gravy bit has got me hungry 😋

OMG love your cat!!! Great info; I use red lentils in East Indian recipes and the regular kind in vegan Italian minestrone. Great presentations!!!
one year ago i started to be vegan. your videos really helped me at the beginning to learn everything about cooking vegan and staying healthy. thanks for everything. best regards!
Lentils for the win!!!
Already had them 4 Times this week 😁
Is this a contest!?!?! HAh.
Same I have no money this week so it was lentil loaf, lentil stew, lentil sloppy Joes and lentils and rice. I hate being broke but it makes me grateful that I'm vegan and can still afford healthy food.
@@Simnettnutrition need to lose weight in a big way. Been trying to go vegan since staying w my friend for the past couple months who eats vegan. Is there a “best” way to drop lbs? I’m in nursing school and work midnights so I’ve just been gaining the last handful of years. Not much time outside of studying or trying to sleep. Anything you can do to point me in the right direction? If not thanks anyway. Love the videos and y’all’s energy.
Green and yellow Split peas are also awesome! I use for soups and stews
You got something going with this series Derek, i'll tell ya! Very well presented.
Just came to your channel. You are amazing. I love lentil so much so tasteful and so many more.
When you said Canada grows lentils and said “we” I subscribed.
Sorry I didn’t sooner lol
Bluenoser here
Same!
I tried this recipe today! The recipes on this channel are fabulous. They know what taste good on this channel.
I eat lentils EVERYDAY! I LOVE THEM SO MUCH
Lentils are one of my favorite foods. Cheap, healthy, and easy to put in most dishes. Thanks for bringing them more into the light!
red lentils have like a natural good taste im baffled
We love lentils they have become a main staple in our house since I stopped eating meat they are so versatile.
I am heavilly into lentils since cutting back on meat and I really like the taste of green ones and have yet to try the black ones. As for the red ones I was brought up on lentil soup.
Thanks for your great and enthusiastic video sir. It proves how much lentil can energise you!
Blessings and peace
Love love lentils, lentil chili, lentil curry, lentil with mixed beans cold pasta salad, lentil bolognese. Yes!
I'm watching this video while eating a big bowl of lentils, sweet potatoes, and kale!
We are new to vegan but my family has been on it for a month now. Wow I have more energy and my arthritis in my hands are feeling better. My husband is losing weight witch were both trying to do. Thank you for all your tips. I'm make my first bean burger by scratch 😃💓
I'm loving this series Derek!
THANK YOU--THANK YOU--for all the enthusiasm, recipe ideas, info & just being a glowing beacon to show up and make me always smile!!
I'm eating red lentils with rice while watching this! Goosh it tastes so gooooooooood! 🤤
I totally agree - I love lentils and eat them everyday - but a Year ago I did not know them and never used them - they are super easy to prepare and they taste great and are super healthy = and I do love the green lentils too - I actually prefer them - I eat them with red onions, tomatoes, broccoli sprouts and a little bit of yellow mustard
This was so interesting! I didn’t know that lentils were grown in Canada! 🇨🇦 I’m making a goal to eat more lentils after watching this. Thank you! 🌱🌱
You're the elite at what you do. Excellent.
You look fantastic! I’m working out again and doing smoothies in the morning with kale , fruits, seeds. Feeling great adding lentils to my diet. Thank you for a fun informative video. Can you have them every day? Just grew broccoli sprouts!
If you like to eat every day then Yes
I made black lentils in an instant pot tonight and said "mmmm" with every bite! 1 cup black lentils , 3 cups water, 9 min Instant pot. Natural release. Season how you want. I used curry powder, cumin and a bit of Braggs. So good!
In my area (southern prairies) you can drive right up to a grain elevator and buy a 100lb bag of pretty much any pulse for 30 bucks, and they keep for years and years and years.
O ya so lucky!!!
I'm in love with plant-based and meat-based foods. They are absolutely delicious and GOOD FOR YOU!
When you say "Pasta" I know you're Canadian 😂🤣 love it!
Thanks for another GREAT MEAL!!
I use to hate lentils but now that I know the health benefits as well as my taste buds changing I'm going to start eating this super food more often. Thanks for the info dude ✌🏽
Very good information right here. I like the history thing and how it's farmed nowadays. Keep it up brother.
Awesome news and recipe makes eating fun and a power force! Thanks Derek!
Love this series! I’m probably going to end up making every dish you share
I love sprouted lentils! Fast, easy and earthy. I add them to stir fry, salads and wraps.
