The month of May is ‘Love Your Lentils’ month! This is one of our favourite times of the year as we treat our staff to lentil based food items, contests and delicious meal ideas. Along with eating all this amazing food we like to provide key information about the benefits of lentils that we work with everyday.

Lentils truly are a unique super food that can help us reach our goal to “Nourish the World”.

Here are a few fun facts:

• Pulses improve the sustainability of cropping systems adding nutrient value to the soil.
• Pulses can help to Prevent Type 2 Diabetes
• Pulses help reduce Bad cholesterol, and lover the risk of heart and stroke
• Pulses are naturally: gluten free, high in protein, minerals, iron, fiber and low in fat.

Bon appetit!!
