This article is about a food that I have become familiar with just recently. The nutritionist at my chiropractor’s office has me on a detoxification program. One of the things I am “allowed” to eat during this detox is a portion of lentils each day. I had never had lentils before this detox, but became a fan rather quickly. The more I looked into the details of this small but mighty food, the more impressed I became that it would be a great addition to my emergency stockpile. The lentil is a cousin of the bean, and both are in the legume family. These are not just “beans,” they are what you might call a “super food.” I know that term gets tossed around quite a bit on television shows, but I am really sincere when I give it this title. I believe this will be a vital part of your survival planning if you grasp the benefits of this small legume.
