This curry lentil stew is an AMAZINGLY deep flavored satisfying meal.
Beans and legumes are slow carbs – meaning they digest slowly and the fuel we burn from them burns slowly. They keep us fuller longer and provide us with energy longer.
Another great advantage is they are jam packed with fiber – both soluble and insoluble fiber, which provides a large range of benefits for digestive health.
