[@shamik0608]

I am indian and in Ayurveda which is the ancient Indian medical system it is recommended to use dry ginger powder while cooking lentils. Never eat canned versions and always soak overnight, cook it in open lid pan instead of any cooker. While cooking the white foam can be removed which is usually the lecithin and other anti nutrients.

[@c_farther5208]

Thank you for the information, doing what you say.

[@califitworkout9211]

True. I always remove the white foam

[@gracehill7204]

How much ginger?

[@77kundubikash]

So correct. To learn more you may watch kzbin.info/www/bejne/rqqxcpKep86Ip5I

[@NervylHraje]

I have a huge respect for Indian culture. But please, do not spread misinformation. The content of the foam is basically same as the water it's cooking in. I see no reason why you should avoid cookers or cook it in open lid. Fresh ginger is always the best, but it's fine to use whatever.

I've been unemployed for almost 6 months and waiting for my next paycheck in 5 days, out of oatmeal and basic foods and saving my last remaining food i found an 2 year old bag of lentils, after dusting it off i washed them and left them rinsing overnight, today i cooked them with a clove of garlick, some onion and half a potato and salt and you got yourself lentils soup for the next 4-5 days. I'm buying a couple extra bags when my paycheck comes in.

After watching PBN’s Doccie and your enthusiastic approach to Veganism I am firmly convinced that THE MEAT INDUSTRY’s dominance is slowly but surely getting crippled.

[@BRB929]

@@CastledarkDweller27 The king Nebuchadnezzar did oblige Daniel and Daniel requested to eat pulse (lentils, beans etc) and drink water for 10 days from the king instead of the Kings meats and wines which they had been living on for 3 years under the Kings orders. Daniel didn't want to defile himself anymore with the Kings meats and wines, Daniel wanted to prove to the king that he and his friends would be healthier eating pulse's and drinking water instead of the rich wines and meats the king had been offering them. After 10 days on this new eating and drinking regime the king saw how healthy the 4 friends faces looked compared to the Kings other servants who ate the meats and drank the wines and the king took away all meats and wine from the servants and gave them pulse's and water probably much to the kings remaining servants disgust and disappointment! After Daniel's 10 day experiment God gave Daniel and his three friends knowledge, wisdom and skill of learning and to Daniel the understanding of dreams and visions. You should read the story in the Holy Bible ( or Google Holy Bible Daniel 1:1-17 which is this story) it's very interesting why Daniel wanted to show the king the difference a diet can make to people physically and spiritually. The rest of the book of Daniel is also full of amazing spiritual insights too just like all the stories in the Holy Bible.

Top tips from a lentil lover! -Cook with onion and garlic to increase the zinc absorption (I also like to add chopped raw pepper on top for VitC) -The nutritional content differs between varieties (bit of info on google) -If you struggle to eat a lot of lentils due to gas/bloating eat more red split lentils as they have half the fiber content (& therefore anti-nutrients) but are still full of nutrition and protein! BONUS TIP: try cooking red split lentils with onion, garlic, mushrooms and gravy spices to make a thick red lentil gravy to pour over a big plate of veggies (easy meal)
