- Lentils are undemanding plants from drier regions, yet at the same time they are extremely rich in protein and are real power packs, full of minerals and trace elements. Scientists from around the world are working on attempts to develop them for use as wonder weapons against famine. The lentil researchers make use of state-of-the-art biotechnology in order to make the undemanding pulses even more profitable and resistant.

During the pandemic when most people were emptying store shelves the only thing I picked was bags of lentils.
Me too
You and many. They sold out near me.
Sophie Oshaughnessy Buy in bulk, on line organic 👍🏻
These staples are what my family eat on a daily basis.
The Same and cooked my kids they ate any because they don’t know them
This is why TH-cam is so great, you can find one hour documentaries on interesting topics.
And also lentils..... 😂
I AGREE .
Yes it could never make mainstream TV, but for people interested it's excellent.
Ryan Tinney "AMEN" you're so right!!
@@DavidS-iy8bb this is mainstreamed in its own way 1billion people use this platform monthly and 500 hours of YT videos are being uploaded every minute
I once ate lentils and carrots for two weeks straight. I love lentils. They kept me going through hard times.
Definitely better than pizza.
I just had it a few mins ago.
and mudajara (spell?)
Come to Spain and you will be eating them every week
@@brentwalker8596 better for ur health by far.
“Without lentils we are nothing” - says everything
That phrase is an absolute nonsense
Human being became human eating animals, not lentils at all
Because they can't afford anything else
@@ivanmuniz3288 A meat eater ahhh yes the brainwashed of society!!!!
We take so many things from granted. Looking at all the effort and work this people have to endure to harvest a cup of lentils make me tear up. Now every time I see a bag of lentils I will see it with a different eyes. It is the humble pearl of the earth indeed. We don’t appreciate God’s creation enough.
Ana, I had the same reaction. I was very moved, and my long-time love of lentils is now cased in deep respect and gratitude.
I totally agree with you about never looking at a bag of lentils the same. I definitely plan to include more lentils in my plant-based lifestyle! Yes it is very humbling to see how hard they work compared to using the ploughs in Canada! (I live in Canada)
This so true of a statement much work goes into lentil harvesting , it's such a super food! 🙏🌎
Lol, a creation full of suffering and despair. What kind of weak ass God can't creat a perfect world? Hell the abrahamic God can't even stop the devil, unless everything the devil does is part of his plan. 🤷🏽♂️ If you read the Bible the devil only kills 10 people, and he only did it because he lost a bet to God. Satan only wanted to educate Adam and eve whilst God kept them in the dark. God slaughtered millions, all because we weren't up to his standards. Lol the abrahamic "God" is a sadistic, egotistical maniac.
@@Gaming_Vegan_Ape A god that doesn't actually exist isn't going to be solving too many problems, now is he?
But it's hilarious how believers twist themselves into pretzels trying to explain how the world can possibly be the way it is in the presence of their omniscient and benevolent god. Obviously then there must be Mysterious Reasons why suffering is a good thing.
Now you know you’re really vegetarian/vegan/plant based when you sit down & WATCH 53 minutes of a lentil documentary. I’m a certified Lentil Lover.🎖
Smudgemom2003 Highly agreed.
Haha so true!🤣
He'll ya, vegan life baby💯
I eat meat like crazy every day, but I love to watch this stuff anyway
Lol I'm not officially vegetarian or vegan by I strive to be vegan its the best way to go. I am definitely plant based though and Love eating foods right from Earth.
I have thanked God numerous times during these past few years for my Mother to have introduced them to our family by making a simple lentil soup. May God continue to bless the lenteja fields all over the world!
My first reaction as the video started was, "WOW, I didn't know there were that many varieties of lentils!" Then you went on to show us even more. I've never given much thought to lentils other than to vaguely wonder about what the plants are like and to tweak my lentil soup recipe. This video was very clear and easy to understand and I feel like I've learned a lot.
I am from Goa, Indian here we mostly eat lentils only. We make a lentil curry everyday with rice and vegetable. sometimes it is fish curry . Any Indian household will atleast have 10 types of lentils present
@@siddeshnaik2296
That will be paradise for my. I'm from Uruguay and my favorite memory of childhood was in a raini day my mother wait for us, sister and I, with a hot plate of lentils.
Till today I remember.
I say thank you to India because here🇺🇸 all the we have are 3 different variety ,but is the best food.
Peace and love,
I’m from Australia. The only time there is a lentil in my diet is when we have soup sometimes in the winter months. I have a new respect for the lentil. I will incorporate it more now. X
Thanks to this documentary I now know what lentil plants look like, rather than just bags of ‘em on the store shelves. ...And now have a deeper appreciation for such a humble legume / pulse.
It's such a pretty plant with such a nice little flower.
I so agree with you have a better understanding of the work and love for people as nd familys to bring us to all you do thanks
It is my cherished desire for de true wellbeing of humanity with sincerity & genuine love that I exhort u all dear children of immortality to try 'n change fr de peace 'n betterment of de whole wide world - which boils down to each one of us - ie yr precious ownself eventualy in de context pertaining to life giving food - meals fr our sustenance. Easily a world centre for Veg protein dishes can be created, make innovation : made actually with mixed beans, gram, lentils, boiled, roughly mince then combined with grated onion chopped ginger garlic herbs, bread crumbs, soaked chia seeds 2 replace eggs, or corn starch, garam masalas, seasonings, sauces, almond, pumpkin, flax sesame seeds n' nuts 4 that added extra nutrition if needed, so finally then by replacing de animal meat, with this veg protein mixture, with same taste 'n form shaped into real live burgers, barbeque steaks, meatballs, Lasagna, kebabs, tandoors, kormas etc . i suggest a high protein moong mix lentil mix vege innovated Soups recipes also. This is Be coz' i deeply feel for u de world at large, as a Nutitionist dr. that if de whole world, starting with USA, UK, Europe, China, Russia, Japan etc ... began gradualy2 add Lentils, Pulses, Legumes, chick peas, various type of Grams, black, red, brown chhana Sattoo Grams, especially de highest in protein in plant base world is "Horse gram" - if this were added to our diet gradually there wud be no need or want for intake of non veg by brutally killing .... taking a life isnt it brutal... brutality ! .... think about it ... eating others life is done by brutes/animals, So, we are like brutes, so we have become brutes... Isn't it.? It was done in de ancient hunters age of de " kill" N' eat to yr fill 'n then fast till u catch another kill. For then, No option was there, nor intelligence was there in them so it had to be just that - non veg.meat fish eggs birds insects bees. Now we animals from mammals to humans have evolved so high almost to our pinnacle...shud we not be consciousnes of our precious life as good humans. We are almost at our peak of material science, technology, blessed so much by mother natures bounty, abundance in plentiful 2enjoy her gratefully 'n so deeply do we feel indebted to her 'n to all around us. Can we not do without it...? think about it dear children of God - who is de creator & master of de universe. Do we still need to kill to eat & have a meal..? Meat has become a deeply ingrained habit, partly unconscious, a man made custom whch can be replaced easily, consciously, & switched fr sound n' good health ( ie free from all disease,) happiness, longevity with our abundant mother nature's gifts her grace in abundance to her children ie enriched all living beings...! man in his glory not in mindfulness but forgetfulness has forgotten her like de brute .... are we Brutus , .... ask yourself, think about it ....👌 🌳🌿💞🌱🙏
You are spot on!@@sreeladevi1780
Oh my, now I know how lentil plants look like ! Thank you Lord for thy creation … I love Lentil soup ❤️
I love lentils so much! Most protein of any whole plant food and most antioxidants of all the legumes!
Love your channel and I love lentils.
Love your channel and I love lentils.
Lots of fibre too!
What about soybeans?
I second that emotion. So many recipe options also.
I am not ashamed to say we went to bed hungry many nights and our day meals weren't much either. When we did have food to eat (beans, rice), is what we ate. When my mom was able to get a bag of flour she made bread. I see now beans were our protein. Right up to this day I cook beans and lentils. I thank God for my meals. I have learned to always have a garden if you can these days.🙏🏼
My mom grew up very poor. She said if it wasn't for beans, they would have all starved, and they were farmers ! Well share croppers, so you know the landlord made all the money, while the tenant farmers were kept poor.
@@kfl611I know what she means that was life for us at that time. I thank God we all made it.❤
🙏agree😊
This is the place where lentils fans congregate 😅❤️❤️❤️❤️
Yeah 😃 I forward it to my husband hoping he will get into it, he refuses to eat it and I can eat it everyday.😭
Honeybunch, show your husband the part at the end where they said kings used to eat lentils so they could service all their wives. That might change his mind.
True😄
That's true! I'm the only one in my family who loves lentils
No I’m a troll looking for vegans to eat
I love lentils. My grandma always made delicious lentil and vegetable soup every Lent season. As a child I thought lentils were the official food for the Lent season.
That's why they were called LENTils
Daniel ate lentils in Babylon
It kind of is. When lent was first celebrated they often ate beans as their protein, same with similar meat free greek and roman holidays.
I make a lentil vegetable soup weekly for my work lunch. Incredible health and quite affordable! Pulses are one of the food wonders of our world.
Me too! Isn’t it why they call it Lent? After Lentils? My grandma made wonderful lentil soup.
I've been eating lentils nearly every day for the last couple of weeks. I started sprouting lentils and I've been putting the sprouts in almost every meal. I add them to salads, soups and stews, and I put them on my sandwiches instead of lettuce. They take only a couple of minutes to cook after they've sprouted and apparently they are much better for you once they've sprouted. The sprouting gets rid of a lot of the anti-nutrients, such as phytic acid. I've been sprouting mung beans and mustard seeds as well. I've now got lentils, other pulses and seeds sprouting continuously now, so that I don't run out. I love them. I'm not a vegetarian or vegan though. I still eat meat, but not a huge amount.
I remember my mother telling me over fifty years ago that beans on toast (a common cheap meal here in the UK) was highly nutritious because the protein in the beans worked with the bread to give you a perfect meal. It turns out she was right, according to this documentary.
I felt very uncomfortable about seeing the endless fields of 'clean field' lentils in Canada. They use Roundup from Monsanto (now Bayer, I think), to kill everything else. That is horrific. It makes farmers reliant on the chemical industry for seeds. Once they are in, they can't get out. And it means that we are being sold products that probably contain traces of poison. I agreed with the Indian lady. It is much better to develop seeds naturally and to plant a variety of seeds so that if one fails, others will succeed.
Note: most sprouts are not edible raw. Lentils are okay. Kidney beans especially, should be boiled hard for at least ten minutes.
True,but you must combine with wholemeal bread to get the correct amino acid balance.
A handful of sprouted lentils in overnight oatmeal makes a satisfying breakfast.
There are too many people to feed to give every person clean organic food.
Sadly.
I think having less children and by that shrinking the population is the best long term survival strategy for our species.
#overpopulation
It's so difficult to find good organic foods. I wish it was easier.
@@CordeliaWagner Wrong Documentary ...Move On !
Eating a bowl of lentils rn and watching a documentary about lentils.
Me too @lisavancuren3243
I love documentaries like this.
Some years ago I made the decision to eat more plant based meals and reduce my meat consumption due to ethical reasons.
I only knew tofu, salad, and beans. Then I discovered veggie cuisines from around the world with the most notable being Indian cuisine.
It opened the door to a wonderful world of delicious food that leaves my body feeling lighter and "cleaner" than it would if I ate a similar quantity of meat based meals.
Lentils are a huge part of why I've been able to gain and retain muscle mass from my active lifestyle.
I just love everyone that loves all these lentils
You know they have no choice right? I mean they probably would eat something else if it was economically feasible for them...
@@Ramiromasters I eat them and I can afford steak and lobster
@@aw5832 Right, but within the context of third world countries and economy, they don't really have a choice to love lentils, for most that is what they can afford.
Love my soup with a combination of many lentils, green, brown, yellow and orange, mix water with tomato for base and add carrots, onions, peppers red and green for taste. Usually sautee onion, garlic and peppers with cilantro on olive oil as my frist step. Later add water, tomatote, potatoes, carrots etc. Anything you love it works even sweet potatoes and pumpkin. With a good amount of your favorite spices like mint, basil, rosemary, etc. I eat this soup over and over again and love it everytime.
"How can a poison sprayed field be called a clean field? This double-speak must end." WELL SAID!!!!
Clean, Organic, Vegan & Praised as a Super Food but please don’t tell them it’s poison 🤣
All I could think about watching this!
We loveee eating lentils in South Sudan, so I'm glad they started the documentary in our region East Africa with our neighbouring country Ethiopia. One of my favourite dishes is our famous Lentil dish called Addis and its sooo easy to cook. They eat a lot of lentils in India/Pakistan too. Its incredibly healthy!
"Poor man's protein" ? I'm sure he means the "smart man's protein".
Yeah, it's just as good as other sources of protein and a fraction of the price.
no...its legitimate slave food
@@generalbrowsing2686 UN TRUE! Pls clarify!
@@generalbrowsing2686 please don't be disrespectful.
Right? He’s so overweight and unhealthy looking, meanwhile most people who are actually eating this “poor man’s diet” are living long lives with little to no disease or cancer because they’re nourishing their bodies.
He may be wealthy monetarily, but he’s living in extreme poverty when it comes to health.
I like lentils because they cook up faster than beans and I seem to digest them better.
When I cook them.they go mushy!. Any better way of cooking them and can we flavour them with spices
To avoid them getting mushy, start cooking them in cold water. I used to boil the water and then add the lentils, and they'd get mushy. Now I add them to the cold water and only then turn on the heat, and they come out perfect every time. Such a seemingly insignificant detail, I was baffled!
@Tehil Lim91 thanks so much for your kindness replying
Soak them 48 hours .( refresch the water regularly ) and they cook in 5 to 10 min
@@theone8331 mushy is just part of the beauty of lentils
We spice them up with Old Bay, dry minced onions, parsley, lots of s&p.
Always cook them with rice, same pan. Same time to cook as brown basmati rice.
Perfect.
Have with pastured raw cheese for calcium. Or kefir.
Would prefer meat for lunch but can’t afford pastured meat but one meal a day (pastured eggs & raw milk yogurt daily for brk).
I’m Mexican and I have always loved lentils, very nutritious and delicious. To my family is a type of soup, we boil them with garlic, then when softened add chopped cilantro, a bit of tomato paste, chopped carrots and chicken flavor powder bouillon( consomé).
My ethnicity is not important...and I also love Lentils. CRAZY!

Thanks for the recipe
I absolutely loved this!!!!!!! Thank you so much for posting this video, what a beautiful documentary. I have been Vegan for over 12 years and have consumed lentils everyday, I absolutely adore these powerhouses.
I should eat more lentils as a vegan. They are cheap, very healty and good for the enviroment.
I eat a pot of boiled green pea and soya beans every morning.. keeping me healthy and energetic throughout the day.

I agree! She is beautiful and strong and very wise!
Fascinating documentary. I wish this information was on regular television for people to learn from .
I grew up eating Lentils in an Italian family, but this documentary really says it all! It becomes even quite emotional to me to see how it is cropted and even the breeding. The Lentil itself is God given and made! Thank God for The cute Lentil and the varieties.. more than a WOW for the Lentil!
so the disease that kills it is not god given?
This is the future! Watched whole video while having lentils only :p
In India, it's the basic nutrition for every family. Never knew it's that important crop and can save the future of the planet! Thanks for expanding my knowledge on food i eat daily! Must share!

Greetings from Germany. 🙋🏻♀️
A few decades ago they were a household staple, especially for our beloved soups and stews. Good to see that they have a Renaissance all over the world!
I absolutely love lentils! I bought a large bag (5 lbs, I think) just as corona virus was taking hold of a lot of people. There’s a channel on You Tube called “Great Depression Cooking With Clara”. One of her recipes uses lentils. I made her recipe right after seeing her video and it was delicious! I experiment/modify it by adding a variety of veggies and spices. Lentils are dirt cheap, which is good for me. I lost my job a year ago but, just recently got another one. So, living like a Depression person turned out to be awesome! I limited my food budget to $25.00 a week. You’d be shocked at how well you can eat cooking with just staple foods like beans, rice, lentils and your imagination. I have an organic garden and organically-fed chickens (for eggs only) so, that stretches my food money, despite buying feed for them. I used to work with a woman who was originally from Dominican Republic. She gave me a recipe using beans and spices and herbs I already have. Total yumminess!
Does anyone know the recipe for the dish (at 7:28) that the lady cooked early in the film to add to flatbread as a complete meal. Am a lentil novice so would very much appreciate simple recipes. Thank you.
☘️🌝🌲.
You should vompile a book of your best recipes and sell it. E-books can be self published easily.
Heh, mine was done to 6€ a week. Baked sourdough bread and ate it with lentils for many months. Worked out fine!
Add various whole grain millets bought in bulk to your diet. Par boiled rice lasts longer and fills you up faster and better for health but takes longer to cook. Use pressure cooker to cook lentils and par boiled rice or millets faster and with less fuel bills. Rice lentils millets etc can be stored for years without refrigeration if you can keep pests away from your stock. Oiled lentils can keep away bugs and store for longer. Learn to sprout the lentils, some can be eaten without cooking as salads or you can cook them. Either way more nutritious than without sprouting. Also learn to grow fast growing leafy vegetables and vegetables. Some grow in a month to harvest. Grow methi plants from methi seeds, they are healthy sauteed with some mild spices and garlic and onion etc, they grow in a month. Same for radish etc. Good luck in your frugal healthyl living. Best wishes. You can grow salads and leafy vegetables indoor all through the year. methi when grown outdoor will improve nitrogen content in your soil as it's a nitrogen fixer. You can grow garlic from the garlic cloves indoor and harvest and eat the leaves regularly like garlic in chutneys etc or wait longer to harvest the garlic etc.
Cheers
What was the recipe? Please.
I just made a red lentil coconut curry with turmeric , red curry paste and carrots. So comforting during winter 💙
I swear after watching this video from start to finish, I am firmly convinced that the MEAT INDUSTRY’S days are numbered,it’s only a matter of time that people realize the dangers of meat and the awesome benefits of LENTILS.
Today 15/03/2021 I am only 6 days into my new healthy lifestyle, that being VEGAN, I’m a 41 year old male that’s recently just seriously paid attention to a VEGAN LIFESTYLE and so far I AM LOVING EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS LIFESTYLE...I’ve always heard about the VEGAN way of living but out of laziness and ignorance scoffed at the idea of people stopping to eat meat,poultry,dairy,fizzy drinks.
My journey started in March 2020 when out of a sedentary lifestyle I had put on so much weight(I was 40,5”7 in stature and weighed an obese 92KG)...I was never into gym stuff and was eating pretty much anything and everything.
I took it upon myself to make a change to my body and I started running,took up cycling,walking,skipping, I did that everyday in the comfort of my house since Covid had hit my country so hard that we had to stay indoors and gyms were closed,so I got down to work...I incorporated my journey with Intermittent Fasting and the end results were beyond amazing,in one year(18 March 2020 to 18 March 2021) I had scorched a whopping 22KG and today I’m a very healthy a relatively fit man at 68KG.
This was until 2 weeks ago when I met an old friend on the golf course and was shocked to see how thin and fit I’d become and likewise of his lean physique,I based my weight loss to intermittent fasting as well as eating relatively well even though I was eating bad food,I have a very sweet tooth and love chocolate,sweets,Ice cream and I’d binge on the stuff and as a result my weight yoyod a bit...but after my friend introduced me to Veganism and its great benefits I was hooked instantly, he directed me to watch THE GAME CHANGERS Doccie,introduced me to Dr Sebi as well as Ty’s Conscious Kitchen where I got to see healthy and very affordable vegan meals are prepared.He also taught me about the importance of knowing my blood type so I know what to eat and what to veer away from,introduced me to an Alkaline way of consuming food and drinks...in the past 6 days I haven’t touched meat,dairy,poultry,fizzy drinks,sweets,chips etc,basically all the bad shit,it hasnt been easy but I’m loving the challenge,in only 6 days I have learnt so much,with so much more to learn still.
The funny thing is, Lentils have always been a part of my family’s staple food but i always discarded the food,my gran,mom and sis cooked these baby with so much regularity that it bored me stiff, and they make it in all sorts of ways, soups largely...since I am new to this Vegan Lifestyle, I was also skeptical to this lifestyle,the first concern was where am I gonna get Protein from if not from previously alive objects hence my appreciation for this video and what it has showed and taught me.
I am grateful for the immense work that you guys have put behind this video, grateful to have reacquainted me with this awesome food,I’m now gonna stock up on these babies and eat them like candy,I’ve also read many comments here of people expressing their equal love and appreciation for Lentils,also asked for different recipes from people all over the world.
A huge THANK YOU to the producers of this video,the world needed your likes,to wake us up from the choking lies of the Meat Industry...on my side,I’m gonna play my part by keeping on working out and eating healthily so that when people ask me how I did,To which I would then unabashedly tell folks about Plant Based Eating lifestyle...especially my cycling buddies,I really wanna shock them with my Vegan Body.
Great work guys✌🏿🇿🇦👍🏿
Well done! I hope you've continued on this journey because it's the best decision you will ever make, I did it just before my 60th and it's wonderful. I love lentils especially the middle eastern dish called njadra.
Very well said! Thank you! I am over 7 months whole-food plant-based now and love love love it. It sure is a learning curve and I’m a sponge for documentaries like this.
Meatvis such an ole time thing
@DASHYDASH EYESPOKE To each his own. But the world is in this mess because greedy people didnt follow God's way of look after the earth.
NOW we will be eating fabrication, modified plants, When man tries be be God he make s a big mess. Good luck... WIth NET ZERO these plant with others wont be able to exist.
MAN is his own worst enemy

Lentils is a very versatile food, which can be cooked in many ways, both in pate, hummus, hamburger etc. They provide a lot of iron and are very nutritious. I love lentils💟🙏💪🌱
They also can be sprouted for me a raw foodie
As a raw vegan and nutritional nut, one must agree, however black beans are superior to lentils in iron and protein. Raw veganism is the healthiest choice. Religion brings death! Christ/Buddha brings life! Blessings kindred and good spirit
Even as a dessert!

Thank you so much for sharing this documentary. I’ll be waiting for more of them👍
I always pour a little bit of vinegar on my lentil soup. I copied that from my mom...
Lentils are one of my staple foods now. I credit lentils as one of the main plants that allowed me to go vegan and thrive.
Shout out to all the scientists and all the farmers. They’re on a mission to feed everyone.
I live in Norway and live off lentils. Food is so ridiculously expensive here. It is not just developing nations that eat them every day. I really enjoy them as a heathy vegetarian diet. Lentils here come from Canada.
I love lentils beans eggs and potatoes
yep i live in canad and lentils are so damn cheap here..we are one of the biggest producers of lentils in the world.
I live in Saskatchewan and eat a lot of locally growing lentils. I can get them straight from my sister off the field.
Does your sister sell them?
I live in canada, and did not know we also grow them. I tend to buy a big veryety for all the diferent vitamines. Ill look for canadian ones next time in the store. this is so cool
@@essentialoilapothecary she does not sell them. They are a big farm operation and sells only to the elevators.
AgnesUpNorth - As of recently, number one producer in the world.
I am also a Canadian, but will stay away from those grown in Saskatchewan, because they are GMO types. I don't want to heat lentils that were sprayed with chemicals, later proven to cause health effects.
Growing up in Ethiopia, I used to eat Lentils often, I believe that why I had a good body and clear skin.
Probably so- maybe partially due to the molybdenum content found in lentils, which is known to be good for the skin especially
I think attractive Ethiopian women are some of the most beautiful women on the earth, and I'm not a "type" kind of person as I tend to care more about people's energy and vibe than just their looks.
had! you should have it again, eat lentil, go back to your roots
Ethiopian women r beutiful
I served in Iranian Army. I remember one day a week we had lentils for breakfast.
On that day we felt less hungry n felt more energetic every one used to say that.
I am so grateful to all these hard working people providing us with this healing food❤
Love lentils and longer form documentaries like this! Keep up the good work!
Lentils are so good! The world would probably be less grumpy if we all ate more lentils. ;p
Less grumpy. Excellent!
Yep lot of people don’t know that nutrition balances out mood and when we lack magnesium or potassium it effects our mood
Yes i like lentils much more then beans
so farts make you less grumpy? ok... lol
@@Phenurb lentils don't make you fart they have a lot of fiber. If its your first time eating them then you might experience some digestive issues.
🙏🏽🌱 Wow - thank you for making such a thought provoking documentary on not only lentils, but future sustainability in cosmic cataclysm, rural farming, fighting poverty, nutritional content, seed eco activism, the detrimental effect of mass farming using herbicide, to not only seeds/nutrition but to villagers living in poverty and women's issues in farming. This was incredibly interesting and well assembled. I found it truly empowering on so many levels, thank you. 🙏🏽🌱 💝
We ate Lentils & Elbow Macaroni as one of our cheap easy meals when I was growing up, I love them! :)
Adding a cup of rice will help you absorb all the proteins and iron from the lentils. Onion,carrot,sage,and a peel of orange slowly cooked will give you a divine plate. Greetings from Greece. Ps Raw olive oil just before you eat it, been Greek it goes without saying...
Thank you for this - will definitely try it! (Greetings from France 😊)
I'm eating lentil soup while watching this documentary 😬

Best Amy’s Golden Lentil...
I see what you did there 😏
I have always loved lentils. This is a great program.
This is such a great documentary! I can't believe it took me so many years to discover lentils. As a lazy vegan, lentils are so easy to cook and such a great source of protein--important as I want to build muscle. I feel like I should start spreading the good word around to my family and friends now.
I just eat the flesh of an animal slaughtered in its prime.. delicious 😋
I have lost muscle mass as a vegan with no teeth, and allergis to gluten and soy. Thanks for the info. Although I do eat chickpeas, you have told me what I need to know about pulses. 💖
Just make a big pot of lentil soup. Refrigerate or freeze and it lasts for a long time.
@@brentwalker8596can confirm, lentil soup carried me hard through college
The lady being interviewed is just so lovely. Practical, happy and content. Thank you for sharing.

After adopting a plant based lifestyle since January of this year, I am researching on high protein enriched plant foods that I can build my agribusiness around in my far remote island country. Lentils has been a go to protein source for caloric consumption, so learning how to grow it and versatility is why I find this documentary so fascinating. In agreement that lentils is the future food source due to it's high yielding crop return especially our island communities across the South Pacific.
Sweet potatos cover all the bases, they have all the nutrients.
We want organic lentils, grown sustainably that improve the soil and are not dependent on chemicals to thrive. Diversity of varieties needs to be protected, one size never fits all.
Excellent video!! I was thrilled when the woman from India actually mentioned the lentils from Canada cannot be called clean!! I was so disappointed when they mentioned that they supply the largest amount and use chemicals.
This documentary made me wanna go home and cook lentils for dinner ... change of menu! :) :) :)
@Leah Hodgen. It made me want to stop eating them. Looks like again it’s all genetically modified crap smothered in death causing chemicals. Shameful Canada
@@rogerc23 EXACTLY gmo seed leads to starvation in the future
Me too!😂😂
Yes!
I'm literally eating a bowl of caviar French lentils right now with a vegan green goddess sauce and sourdough toast.
How do they look like? Im buying in the UK some called Puy Lentils and many of them are grown in France. I love the texture:D
I cooked some today for lunch added a table spoonful of rendered beef fat and on the sour dough toasts a big slice of butter.
I'm glad it wasn't vegan or vegetarian at all.

Does anyone know the recipe for the dish (at 7:28) that the lady cooked early in the film to add to flatbread as a complete meal. Am a lentil novice so would very much appreciate simple recipes. Thank you.
☘️🌝🌲.
So carbs with food flavoring and inflammatory compounds and little to no nutritional value, good, eat more and give it to your children if you have any which I don't recommend.
I ordered wrong size of a lentil bag of 50 lbs. After watching this, I am motivated to eat lentils for lunch most days. I will cook a batch of lentils, rice and other vegetables at the begging of the week and then reheat for lunch the rest of the week (maybe three days).
‘Clean field’ as a term for a field that you spray with poison… live in a Dutch agricultural area and believe me, when you’ve seen what they spray on crops, you’ll be happy to pay some extra money for organic food.
We Indians have been eating lentils for thousands of years. We eat them once in a day daily with rice.

Just boil the Lentils in a pressure cooker , 2 whistles
Separately take a pan , add ghee , cut in parallel onions , ginger , green chilies,garlic , tomatoes , Put the cut onion in hot oil and mix till it is light brown colour , now add garlic and ginger ,chilly and finally tomato,
Ratio : 2 onions , garlic - 4-5 bulb , ginger - small piece 10 GM, chilli to your taste, tomato - 1 small,
After this add teaspoon of turmeric , cumin powder and add salt to taste. Base is ready , add the boiled lentil and cook for 10 minutes , ready to it🥗🥗
I will eat this more often. I just hope my accent will not become Indian.
Eduardo Viajero -you might live longer and be smarter if your accent becomes Indian! A side benefit!
@@chandrikatilwalli4741 Indians are some of the smartest people and the healthiest that I have encountered, well maybe some Asians will compete. Better families, better nutrition, better values is what I have observed. Way better tasting food too.
Now that was genuinely, surprisingly interesting
Not a vegan, nor even a vegetarian, but I absolutely adore lentils--I love to make up a pot of them in the morning and let them simmer with carrots, celery and onion until lunch time and have a nice bowl of lentil stew....yummm
We were brought up on lentils. My mum’s lentil soup was amazing, I now make it and also in cooking I absolutely love them ❤️
Would be open to sharing the recipe?
How did she - you make it?
Hi yes absolutely. Its really very simple. Red lentils wash them in cold water until water runs clear, cook the lentils until they’re semi soft use a vegetable stock cube chopped onions carrots seasoning. You can add whatever you like sometimes I add potatoes. This is a Scottish recipe can be adapted to suit cook until veg and lentils are cookedi don’t fry my veg I prefer cooked in the soup. She used to add a little passata
I've just recently begun to see my food as being sacred along with water..I decided to do this to enhance my desire to be a drug free vegan and include Tai chi, meditation and bodyweight exercises. .I plan on including more lintels in my diet and also mixing in with my dogs food.
~ Love that you're putting lentils in your dogs food.
@@rubytuesday5412 Thanks Ruby
Started WFPB no fat last year my husband, I and my 11th year old daughter had major great changes. It was the best decision that solved all our health problems. It was really like a miracle. When I see all the people suffering from so many health issues I feel like I want to tell everyone to try this.
Just be careful with the no fat for your daughter. She is still growing and needs some, not necessarily a lot, but a handful or two of nuts and seeds will do her very well
@@smudge8882 I agree with you 100 percent.
I think she means fats like butter and in highly processed foods.
What is WFPB?
@@biancachaumont6939 Whole Food Plant Based.
Very interesting, from a lentil lover who is only buying organic ones from now on. 🌱
Organic beans and lentils are cheap in general- i bulk buy them..
In India irrespective of any socio economic,class, region, religion, Education, rich or poor etc etc
Lentils are a must in their food diets
Cooking lentils along with kidney beans, whole grain rice and veggies atm, I don’t think ima think of them the same way ever again. This is so informative. I’ll also start cooking them more often.
If you are not indian .. try khichdi ...
Mix of rice and lentils .. people add vegetables by choice .. one of the complete food .. it also very sacred food in many regions ..
In many festival ... Some times people Cooked it and thousands people eat free ...
Specially Odisha and bengali khichdi have variety and awesome taste ....
Just one thing ... After eating khichdi meal .. after some times .. you may need a glass of water
Lentils a gift from God
Lentils are the only peas mentioned in the bible.
Amen
At 1:50 they told you they had to change God's flawed seed and make it better, where you not paying attention?
@David Burland They said it was GMO.
Many body builders now eat and suggest recommend lentils and looks like we owe a lot to these common folks
I have never tried lentils until a month ago because I wanted to add something new to what I normally eat after work. Next time I went to the grocery store, I tried to find some and was surprised to find out how cheap they are. I bought one bag just to try them out and been hooked on them since.
I love lentils. I eat beans & peas everyday.
Good slave!
Why do you refer to yourself as that?
I am not a queen, or even from India but cannot live without eating my lentils. Literally love them for lentils are so powerful in your diet.
We are vegan and eat lots of lentils…almost every day. We make lentil loaf, lentil burgers, curry lentils and lentil soups. They are quick and easy to make.
Horrible that farmer Demekech's lentil crop got destroyed 💔 She is a strong spirited woman
I'd like to see more content like this than who's-leaving-veganism nonsense that's everywhere now.
Jennifer Stokes agreed!!!
People are moving to plant based.. others are coming to it, don’t worry
I,m a newbie and watching this Lentil documentary!
@@kchannel4299 people leaving doesn't bother me. I just want science not gossip. But yes, I'm glad more people are discovering plant based nutrition.
Everyone’s heading for veganism, like it or not
I love learning about lentils!!! They are a favorite of mine. Since going vegan, I cook a lot of lentils. My whole household eats lentils. Even my dog eats lentils!!!
Naomi May - Sustainable Prepper Our dogs r also vegan, we add lentils steamed veg, 2their vegan biscuits, they luv themmmm
@@ceolbeats7182 I'm sorry, but the Canids really should have meat in their diet... Unless your dogs suffer some sort of meat allergy, they really should not be kept on a vegan diet...

@@Ramiromasters I am 5’2”!! I am 38 years old. I have no hope of growing taller anymore, so I have no fear of lentils stunting my growth in any way. 😂🤣😂 Shortness is my destiny.
A very interesting well put together and educational documentary. The amount of hard work which goes into the finished lentil product is amazing. I now want to buy and cook with lentils. Thank you PBN for informing and enlightening us.
Thank you so much for this informative film and a heartful thanks to all of those engaged in the work of improving the diverse lentil crops of local farmers.
I love lentils! I make lentil loafs, "meat"balls, I'm even stuffing lentils into mushroom caps for dinner tonight 😋.

@@elizdonovan5650 my husband makes the best lentils. I will tell you a recipe, but I don't know any measures, you'll have to eyeball everything. He boils brown lentils with finely chopped onion, garlic, a tomato and cilantro leaves. He also adds right from the beginning some olive oil, a bit of curcuma, some paprika, ginger powder, a bit of black pepper and a lot of cumin powder. No salt at the beginning, that prevents the lentils to soften properly. Cover them with water and let them boil. Check them from time to time and complete with more water if necessary. When the lentils are boiled you can add salt.
Side note: I was never a fan of cilantro, but in lentils, and if you put it at the beginning, it's amazing. I suggest you to try it even if you don't normally enjoy it.
Alex with hat many thanks 🙏 to you and your husband for this recipe. I really appreciate it. I will be making this tomorrow.
☘️🌝🌲
@@elizdonovan5650 ....yes, I make it all the time. You can type Ethiopian lentil on youtube and many tutorial will show up. However, you need a special Ethiopian/Eritrean chili powder from Ethiopian/Eritrean store called berbera. This chili powder has many spices added, organic & is homemade and shipped to the U.S. Lentil dish ingredients includes onions, olive oil, tomatoes (most Ethiopians don't add tomatoes but we Eritreans do) berbera, garlic & lentils. Good luck.
Honestly, lentils have to be my favorite legume. I make a large crock pot every sunday and eat on them all week. At .98 cents per bag I can easily get all the protein and so much more for around 5$ US per month.
I grew up eating lentils Italian style -lots of tomatoes, onion, garlic and herbs but now I make lentil bread which is fantastic plus "meatballs," soup and main dishes. They're amazing!
Ohhhhh I bet that’s tasty!
Ima try some canned tom and garlic tmrw, not just garlic powder.
Do you have a recipe for lentil bread?
Hands down my favourite legume!! I make patties, burgers, tortillas, soups and curries with them. 😅
Red lentils are the best, they cook so quickly.
Love them!
My favourite!
Red lentils taste almost like potatoes to me because of how they break down. I love them, too. 😄
I mix them with rice, it makes almost a goopy combination of creamy goodness ❤️
Love me some red lentils with peppers and garlic. Scrumptiousalicious!
Prayers and healing I send blessings to farmers and love to the fields to grow the most abundant and healthy foods thank you !
Very much appreciated this video. I love a plant based food diet and have seen my health improve. Thanks so much!! I’m now subscribed too.
I recently discovered sprouted lentils. I feel like a whole new world has opened up. :)
@M E Proven to be more nutritous :PP I love them almost green!!
mmm and they say its even easier to digest
@@deesee3622 They are easier to digest: less anti-nutrients and, in particular, higher protease activity. Probably best after 5d or so when it basically turns into a little plant :)
@Mrs. Roper
If you chew them properly, I think it will be fine.
@Mrs. Roper I cook them for sure! Just a little shorter, like 5-10min max or so. It's kinda similar for me and contamination/digestive issues make cooking a great option😃👍
I am so grateful that I discovered a healthy diet, which included lentils, so long ago. So many people, in our part of the world are resistant to making the changes to a plant based diet. If only they knew how wonderful the food created with these awesome little legumes, was, they'd jump at it. As soon as I knew I could get everything I needed by eating a plant based diet, I went for it. I was ready. These hard working people in the Middle East, have much to teach us. If we'll only embrace them. Good video.
Wynn Horton How do I cook them?
Warm water soak,then use ur base vege’s like onions,carrots,peppers,add lentils,slowly simmer(clay pots are the best),lastly add sours,like tomatoes,then flavors...cilantro,chili,ginger garlic. Salt and turmeric in each pulse is a must.
What a wonderful and informative documentary! Thank you for helping us better understand the value and importance of the lentil. I am literally cooking some green lentils as I type this. Hey, who could watch this without wanting a bowl?
Ma Doanld, Sunic, Whatburgar, frozen, buttered popcorny, burgaken, kfk, titobell.... what a legacy for our kids and grandkids!
I love lentils because you can make a big pot of chili from scratch in 40 minutes. What's weird to me is that they grow quite well on the Canadian prairies.

I am married to an Indian man, as a Filipino i never heard of Lentils!
Now they are my favorite! I like the red or orange one and I have also tried the Beluga variety the black one!!
It's good to know facts about the origin of the food I am eating.
Although I can't digest all the information in this video. I liked it and it made me start loving and eating more lentils! Well I guess I am gonna cook some tomorrow 😉.
Thank you! Very informative ❤️ love Malaysia.
You should force your family in Philippines to eat superior Indian food.
@@Velsbasketcase no he shouldn't never force anyone.
You already know we're out here eating lentils as part of our complete plant based nutrition program 💯
I did not realize Canadian lentils are prized around the world - I have adopted the 1 cup habit to get more lentils in my diet. I’m also pleased than Canadian still exported over 1 million metric tonnes of lentils to India in 2023 despite the political friction between these 2 counties- ppl still need to eat ! 🇨🇦
Great program, would sit proudly in national broadcasters schedules. Very informative.
I made lentil soup for dinner with green and red lentils was very good in my instant pot, from Vegan Under Pressure cookbook.
I love this documentary, I became an expert in cooking lentils it is one of our favorite meal in our diet in the family and pass it to my children.
So much effort in this film! Thank you very much.
I just started eating Lentils! I will make a video soon on my diet and lifestyle. I am learning every day! Love this healing journey!! Hugs
