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.
@@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 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.
I saw a YT video recently - explaining if you want to live off the land - you can do so easily with a cereal-crop like wheat for carbohydrates, beans and or pulses (like lentils) for protein, and oil from sources like olive trees - these elements ensure you do not go hungry and have the basics of what you need to live - this can be done for a family on a modest plot of land - I think his family lives well on 750 sq. meters - then you can add a vegetable garden as the ‘cherry on top’
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.
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)
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.
@@I_suck-_-so_what 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.
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 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 ....👌 🌳🌿💞🌱🙏
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
@@ivanmuniz3288 actually we didnt. Our diets are that of opportunistic omnivores. Some people around the world would have gone their whole lives with less than 10% of their diet containing animal products, other parts it would have made up 90% of the diet based on time of the year. Likewise there are cultures that are almost entirely vegan.
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. ☘️🌝🌲.
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
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💟🙏💪🌱
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
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.
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! Powered by plants 🌱✌🏻
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’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).
@@xzysyndrome Someone posting a lame, negative comment on how "1" person eats lentils in their traditional recipe, which happens to be Mexican....CRAZY!😂....And I also love Lentils!....And I'm also Mexican! WAY CRAZY!😉
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.
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!
@@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 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!
AMEN! I was shocked to hear that Canada is shiiping such a huge volume of toxic lentils all over the world. Organic, clean??? BS, call them what they are, TOXIC TIME BOMBS AKA POISON!!!! I will have to start looking for a truly organic source of lentils. BEWARE, ALL OATS are sprayed with RU to desicate the crop for harvest so be cautious that you only buy CERTIFIED Organic Oats. I had to tell that to a health food store owner. He was not aware of it. I spent 5 years at the U of G BSc.(Agr.)Crops. Ontario Canada. While there I worked at the research farm and labs. I never thought transferring alfalfa embryos into test tubes would ever take off. voila R/U ready Alfalfa, the result!!! I am absolutely disgusted with the whole Agribusiness model these days. I buy as much as I can local and from growers I know. GROW YOUR OWN!!! Find a way. Indoors , Outdoors, share space with a neighbor, community gardens, support local Small growers in your community!!! We have destroyed GOD's beautiful creation!!! Someone will pay! GOD BLESS> Pray over every mouthful of food provided to you! Thank you Jesus!
@@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.
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 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.
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!
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.
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!
2 Samuel 23:11-12 [11]And after him was Shammah the son of Agee the Hararite. And the Philistines were gathered together into a troop, where was a piece of ground full of lentiles: and the people fled from the Philistines. [12]But he stood in the midst of the ground, and defended it, and slew the Philistines: and the LORD wrought a great victory.
AMEN. Am a vegan and eat all types of lentils in different colours PLUS beans. After years of doing that, many(at least over 75% of people, who meet me for the first time, think I am young woman/mature girl, while in reality I am over 60 years old. Another shocking thing is that, about 10 years ago, I underwent a heart surgery. In preparation for I was scared if the operating doctors, wouldn't operate me, due to my diet on lentils as well as, a range of beans. TO MY GREATEST SHOCK, the main operating heart surgeon wrote this, in my medical journal before operation He wrote , that, as the patient, HAD THE PERFECT DIET. I was shocked when I later read my journal. The heart surgeon later explained to me, why he wrote perfect diet on my journal. He indicated that vegan food empowers our bodies, as well as aids in healing processes.
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...
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 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
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.
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
@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
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 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. 💖
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!!!
@@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.
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.
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.
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 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.
@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
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
Here is a quick red lentil daal recipe that my Pakistani friend Tabs taught me. It’s delicious and filling. I make this daal every week. 3 cups of red lentils 5 or more garlic cloves minced (I use 8) 1 tspn Kashmiri red chilli powder (mild) 1 tspn of turmeric 1 tspn of mixed spice (I use basaar mix) 3 tablespoons of veg oil Fresh coriander (handful) Salt - about 1/2 to 1 tspn) Black pepper 1/2 tspn - it activates turmeric Green chilli (optional) 3 tbsp butter/ghee 1. Wash, drain and put aside red lentils 2 Fry the garlic in the oil in the pan until it’s just turning but not burning 3. Add the spices and salt and fry for about 1-3 minutes to release the flavour on low heat. Add water or oil if they stick to the pan. 4. Stir in red lentils 5. Add water about 50% above height of lentils 6. Cook until lentils are soft and mushy - add more water to desired consistency. More water will mean more salt and extra mixed spice which you can add at the end. 7. Add green chillis (optional) 8. Turn off pan and add butter 9. Add coriander, mix and serve It’s so tasty. I hope someone enjoys this recipe as much as I do.

🙏🏽🌱 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. 🙏🏽🌱 💝
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 ! 🇨🇦
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.

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 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.

@@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.
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.
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.

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 ...

@@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 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😃👍
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
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. ☘️🌝🌲.
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.

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 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 am so happy for the Ethiopian farmer woman!!! It brought tears to my eyes the way she was talking about her cattle and how proud she is to get there.

@@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.
@@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.
You've got that right. This so called "cheap" food is a misnomer. The costs of spraying these poisons have been externalized, and the costs are being borne by the environment and people's heath.
@@joecaner .. @lordoftheflings ...there's a farm in Montana the grows organic Lentils. It's called Timeless Natural Food. They've seen an uptake of orders since COVID-19 struck. There are also several companies that grows Lentils without chemicals.

My experience with lentils was when i found my self as w single mum.wanting to give my kids the best education so they will always never have to go through my pain. I cooked lentils almost every day but in different ways. Disguising it son my two young boys would have ca smile on there face. Today they are so strong and healthy in there 30 and 35 nevet get sick and have completed primary high school university and are suscefull . And they still cook lentils in there own home.i can cry as i good back to memory line.to god be the glory.thank you to all you guys that as made the world aware of this little diamond.
Wash lentils lightly, soak lentils overnight, in the afternoon, just use a simple pressure cooker, take only 5 minutes. 1: 2 ratio of lentil to water. Simple.
This pandemic is having me look into long term food storage that can be stored for 20+ years while storing more than just beans and rice. Never had them and just bought a pound. Making them for lunch tomorrow!
@@zoe9632 same problem if the general public also had their food production stopped.Meat production will never end and to force it to like what is happening in the Netherlands is not what you want to do.
@@fwb777 The average American doesn't have room to grow the amount of lentils someone would need for a yearly amount. We have to leave the lentil growing to the farmers
You can sprout lentils. It's easy, gets rid of the ??? that you otherwise have to cook away. And it rises the amount if nutrients. Less meat consumption means less animal suffering. That's a good reason to cut EU subsidizes for the meat Industry. Pumping that money into subsidezes for legumes helps us to be more independent from genetically modified soy from all over the world.
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.
I love lentils! One of my favorite foods out there! I just did a cooking class making a vegan taco filling with mushrooms and lentils. It came out fantastic! I also did a vegan spin on a Shepherd's Pie on my own TH-cam Channel that I love in the winter!
So you are stuffing a grain with grain and mushrooms, seems like your human body will have a fun time processing that stuff into something that resembles itself with some harcore alchemy...
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).
Isn't there one worldwide already? I live in Cape Town and we have local small businesses that makes a lot of hemp products, from clothing to beauty products. Cbd oils are big here too. They also legalised the grow and use of marijuana countrywide but only for personal use. You are still not allow to sell it to others, that will still come and nobody really stopped selling it. It really makes a difference to so many health problems.
I am neither vegetarian or vegan and never knew I was interested in lentils although I do eat them sometimes but this excellent documentary actually started me thinking about several practical and also ethical issues. Very informative. Thank you.
They are indeed and it is a noble mission. But they are better ways And it is now possible to produce protein on an industrial scale in factories. Every bit as cheap and nutritious using the waste gases, like carbon dioxide and methane. The current target of this production is to feed land grown fish. But we can eat it too.
I love lentils...love making lentil and vegetable rice. My son loves it too. I love making lentil soups. I usually add vegetables and sometimes yellow yam, sweet potato and even pumpkin depending on what is available in my kitchen at the time, yet always with some type of vegetables. For delicious flavouring, I also love adding herbs and spices to the mix like turmeric, thyme, oregano, cayenne pepper, black pepper, garlic, onion, clove buds. Another thing I do love to add, although, I don't always is organic coconut flour. I don't like my soups to be watery. The coconut flour gives it a natural thickness without using artificial thickeners and the usual soup mix stuff you find on most shelves here in NA. I drank some lentil soup almost before bed last night...slept like a baby...lol! Absolutely Delicious.
As a vegan for personal and global health, I already love lentils, but this doc greatly increased my appreciation of this humble pea and it's relationship with humans. I'm planning to plant lentils in my yard, as a way to increase the fertility of the currently sad soil.
That was such an inspiring video, plugging huge gaps in my knowledge. Watching the video in August 2022 when my country the UK does not pay most of its workers enough to feed their families and millions of citizens have to avail themselves of charity foodbanks or they would starve, growing lentils looks like a very attractive idea. I hope our farmers get into lentil growing, not to receive their lentils from corporate Canada, but to grow the diverse species as they do in many poorer parts of the world and to make our farmers self sufficient. I would love it if our people were not reduced to food banks in order to keep themselves alive.

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😊
I saw a YT video recently - explaining if you want to live off the land - you can do so easily with a cereal-crop like wheat for carbohydrates, beans and or pulses (like lentils) for protein, and oil from sources like olive trees - these elements ensure you do not go hungry and have the basics of what you need to live - this can be done for a family on a modest plot of land - I think his family lives well on 750 sq. meters - then you can add a vegetable garden as the ‘cherry on top’
Americans have so much luxury and yet most of us are still miserable... It's a true irony.
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.

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'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 !
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 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!

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

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.
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.

I eat a pot of boiled green pea and soya beans every morning.. keeping me healthy and energetic throughout the day.
The lady being interviewed is just so lovely. Practical, happy and content. Thank you for sharing.

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
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!
Love lentils and longer form documentaries like this! Keep up the good work!
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.
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!

Glory be to The Most High ABBA YAH in YAHshua CHRIST name.
2 Samuel 23:11-12
[11]And after him was Shammah the son of Agee the Hararite. And the Philistines were gathered together into a troop, where was a piece of ground full of lentiles: and the people fled from the Philistines.
[12]But he stood in the midst of the ground, and defended it, and slew the Philistines: and the LORD wrought a great victory.
AMEN. Am a vegan and eat all types of lentils in different colours PLUS beans. After years of doing that, many(at least over 75% of people, who meet me for the first time, think I am young woman/mature girl, while in reality I am over 60 years old. Another shocking thing is that, about 10 years ago, I underwent a heart surgery. In preparation for I was scared if the operating doctors, wouldn't operate me, due to my diet on lentils as well as, a range of beans. TO MY GREATEST SHOCK, the main operating heart surgeon wrote this, in my medical journal before operation He wrote , that, as the patient, HAD THE PERFECT DIET. I was shocked when I later read my journal. The heart surgeon later explained to me, why he wrote perfect diet on my journal. He indicated that vegan food empowers our bodies, as well as aids in healing processes.
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 😊)
Sounds delicious.
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.
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.
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.

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.

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.
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

@@rogerc23 EXACTLY gmo seed leads to starvation in the future

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
Fascinating documentary. I wish this information was on regular television for people to learn from .
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!!!

@@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.
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.
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 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
Cheese is the hardest food to give up, George Foreman says walking is the best exercise, beware of low-fat and fat- free foods.
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
Here is a quick red lentil daal recipe that my Pakistani friend Tabs taught me. It’s delicious and filling. I make this daal every week.
3 cups of red lentils
5 or more garlic cloves minced (I use 8)
1 tspn Kashmiri red chilli powder (mild)
1 tspn of turmeric
1 tspn of mixed spice (I use basaar mix)
3 tablespoons of veg oil
Fresh coriander (handful)
Salt - about 1/2 to 1 tspn)
Black pepper 1/2 tspn - it activates turmeric
Green chilli (optional)
3 tbsp butter/ghee
1. Wash, drain and put aside red lentils
2 Fry the garlic in the oil in the pan until it’s just turning but not burning
3. Add the spices and salt and fry for about 1-3 minutes to release the flavour on low heat. Add water or oil if they stick to the pan.
4. Stir in red lentils
5. Add water about 50% above height of lentils
6. Cook until lentils are soft and mushy - add more water to desired consistency. More water will mean more salt and extra mixed spice which you can add at the end.
7. Add green chillis (optional)
8. Turn off pan and add butter
9. Add coriander, mix and serve
It’s so tasty. I hope someone enjoys this recipe as much as I do.
I'd like to see more content like this than who's-leaving-veganism nonsense that's everywhere now.

This was incredibly interesting and well assembled. I found it truly empowering on so many levels, thank you. 🙏🏽🌱 💝
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 ! 🇨🇦
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

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 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.

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.
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.

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

@@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😃👍
Red lentils are the best, they cook so quickly.

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?

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.

@@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.

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.
Wash lentils lightly, soak lentils overnight, in the afternoon, just use a simple pressure cooker, take only 5 minutes. 1: 2 ratio of lentil to water. Simple.
This pandemic is having me look into long term food storage that can be stored for 20+ years while storing more than just beans and rice. Never had them and just bought a pound. Making them for lunch tomorrow!
If you can, it should teach you to grow your own food. That will definitely help you. We do this in the Caribbean. Greetings 👋🏿
I wonder if people eating Carnivore type diets ever think about what would happen if meat production stopped for any reason?
@@zoe9632 same problem if the general public also had their food production stopped.Meat production will never end and to force it to like what is happening in the Netherlands is not what you want to do.
@@fwb777 The average American doesn't have room to grow the amount of lentils someone would need for a yearly amount. We have to leave the lentil growing to the farmers
You can sprout lentils. It's easy, gets rid of the ??? that you otherwise have to cook away. And it rises the amount if nutrients.
Less meat consumption means less animal suffering. That's a good reason to cut EU subsidizes for the meat Industry.
Pumping that money into subsidezes for legumes helps us to be more independent from genetically modified soy from all over the world.
I absolutely love lentile soup, they taste just like black eyed peas when cooked correctly.
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.
I love lentils! One of my favorite foods out there! I just did a cooking class making a vegan taco filling with mushrooms and lentils. It came out fantastic! I also did a vegan spin on a Shepherd's Pie on my own TH-cam Channel that I love in the winter!
So you are stuffing a grain with grain and mushrooms, seems like your human body will have a fun time processing that stuff into something that resembles itself with some harcore alchemy...
@@Ramiromasters lentils are a legume not a grain and differ nutritionally.
@@Ramiromasters lentils are not a grain :) they are a legume. So no he is not stuffing a grain with a grain...
Also Aduki beans with lentils make a great Shepherds pie also known as a Red Dragon pie
Love eating beans and lentils everyday !!! Been eating WFPB for about 2 years now and feel amazing !!!! 38 yr old feeling like im 18 !!!
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).
I would love to see an in depth documentary on hemp seeds like this. I think there will be a hemp revolution in America soon.
Isn't there one worldwide already? I live in Cape Town and we have local small businesses that makes a lot of hemp products, from clothing to beauty products. Cbd oils are big here too. They also legalised the grow and use of marijuana countrywide but only for personal use. You are still not allow to sell it to others, that will still come and nobody really stopped selling it. It really makes a difference to so many health problems.
I am neither vegetarian or vegan and never knew I was interested in lentils although I do eat them sometimes but this excellent documentary actually started me thinking about several practical and also ethical issues. Very informative. Thank you.
Shout out to all the scientists and all the farmers. They’re on a mission to feed everyone.
They are indeed and it is a noble mission. But they are better ways And it is now possible to produce protein on an industrial scale in factories. Every bit as cheap and nutritious using the waste gases, like carbon dioxide and methane. The current target of this production is to feed land grown fish. But we can eat it too.
Hands down my favourite legume!! I make patties, burgers, tortillas, soups and curries with them. 😅
Great program, would sit proudly in national broadcasters schedules. Very informative.
I love lentils...love making lentil and vegetable rice. My son loves it too.
I love making lentil soups. I usually add vegetables and sometimes yellow yam, sweet potato and even pumpkin depending on what is available in my kitchen at the time, yet always with some type of vegetables. For delicious flavouring, I also love adding herbs and spices to the mix like turmeric, thyme, oregano, cayenne pepper, black pepper, garlic, onion, clove buds. Another thing I do love to add, although, I don't always is organic coconut flour. I don't like my soups to be watery. The coconut flour gives it a natural thickness without using artificial thickeners and the usual soup mix stuff you find on most shelves here in NA.
I drank some lentil soup almost before bed last night...slept like a baby...lol! Absolutely Delicious.
As a vegan for personal and global health, I already love lentils, but this doc greatly increased my appreciation of this humble pea and it's relationship with humans. I'm planning to plant lentils in my yard, as a way to increase the fertility of the currently sad soil.
This doc makes me wanna go out and watch my plants grow.
That was such an inspiring video, plugging huge gaps in my knowledge. Watching the video in August 2022 when my country the UK does not pay most of its workers enough to feed their families and millions of citizens have to avail themselves of charity foodbanks or they would starve, growing lentils looks like a very attractive idea. I hope our farmers get into lentil growing, not to receive their lentils from corporate Canada, but to grow the diverse species as they do in many poorer parts of the world and to make our farmers self sufficient. I would love it if our people were not reduced to food banks in order to keep themselves alive.
