Spanish Pardina Lentils

Native to Spain, Spanish pardina lentils are known for their small size and their excellent nutty flavor. Besides, they range in color from a rich medium brown to brownish gray. Because these lentils hold their shape and texture very well, they are one of the best to use as a primary or side dish with other elements within the meal, as well as in salads. And because they contain virtually no fat but are high in fiber, lentils in general tend to fill you up without adding unnecessary calories to your meal. This is particularly useful for those who struggle with feeling hungry all the time. Furthermore, women who are nursing or who are expecting a baby should add these nutritious seeds to a balanced diet. In addition, lentils help restore sufficient iron levels in the body, a mineral that can assist in warding off anemia.
