a lot of people are looking to add plant-based 
protein fiber and other nutrients to their diet  
and a good way to do that is by using lentils on 
their own lentils are pretty neutral tasting and a  
lot of people think they’re kind of boring that’s 
because they’ve never tried them the Mediterranean
