However, there is a pulse for vegetarians too, which can beat eggs and meat in terms of protein. We are talking about masoor dal, a simple looking pulse that is a powerhouse of nutrition.

Comparison of eggs and meat:

A boiled egg provides an average of 6 grams of protein, while 100 grams of chicken provides about 20-25 grams of protein. However, non-veg sources contain high amounts of cholesterol and saturated fat, while lentils are also rich in fiber, iron, folate and antioxidants. This is why it is also very beneficial for heart health, digestion and immunity.

 

Lentils are also helpful in diabetes and weight loss.

They have a low glycemic index, which helps in keeping blood sugar stable. Due to the good amount of fiber, it gives a feeling of fullness for a long time, which curbs unnecessary eating habits and keeps the weight under control.

How to consume?

You can eat masoor dal as a plain dal, by making soup, by stuffing it in paratha or even as sprouts. Its nutrition can be increased further by adding lemon and some green vegetables to it.
