Lentils
Fiber-rich lentils are a great source of minerals, vitamins, and protein, which can be helpful in promoting your heart health such as relaxing your blood vessels and enhancing blood fats. Since they can be cooked quickly without soaking, these are a great alternative to most types of beans. Many people often choose to eat them in a stew, but you can also use them as salad toppings or mix them with less-fibrous grains like rice or quinoa.
There are around 40 grams of carbs in 1 cup of cooked lentils. [14]
