I've been looking at ways to increase my caloric intake / protein and someone suggested lentils. At first I was pretty skeptical as I hate all things beanly; however, I found this recipe on allrecipes.com --> http://allrecipes.com/recipe/lentils-with-tomatoes/detail.aspx?event8=1&prop24=SR_Title&e11=lentils&e8=Quick+Search&event10=1&e7=Home+Page. Fucking daaaaaaank. It includes 1 bag lentils, 3 tomatoes, 2 orange peppers, 1 yellow pepper, and one rather large onion. I added in some curry and garlic salt and butter and boom. I make 12 portions at a time on Sundays for the week and I eat it on the reg. So good.

Love lentils - and they are NOT the type of food I would enjoy. I hate beans, adn prefer things that go 'crunch' in my mouth. However, my girl had me try this soup and I've been HOOKED on it. I literally have 15 cans of it in my pantry. It's delicious.
I'll definitely be trying that recipe this weekend. Thanks for the thread, OP

Lentils are great. Just make sure that you soak them well ahead of time to neutralize the phytic acid.

There is a helpful chart at the bottom of this great article.

Interesting. I was unaware of this soaking for several hours step. How long is "well ahead of time?"

The chart is at the bottom of the article. It depends on the type of legume. For lentils it's
Lentils 5.0 water ph 10 hours Water with whey added
I should add that fermenting them with vinegar or lemon juice is nasty imo. If you don't have whey handy just add a TBS of unpasteurized yogurt.

What are the consequences of not doing this? Seems like a pain in the ass; just no phytic acid absorption?

Problems absorbing minerals, especially zinc and iron. This makes it doubly important for vegetarians. Also soaking the beans will make you fart less.

For a while there I soaked everything, nuts, seeds, etc. Apparently it removes phytates or something like that, which are unfriendly to the gut. Congrats on your discovery of lentils!
