Spinach Beet Caprese Salad

Lentils are an excellent source of B vitamins, iron, magnesium, potassium and zinc. They're also a great source of plant-based protein and fiber.

But lentils also contain lectins—a protein in certain plants like nightshades and legumes that has been linked to inflammation and upset stomach. It's one of the reasons why people with Nightshade sensitivities steer clear of beans and legumes.
