This kind of vegetables and fruits has lots of protein and carotene which are very good for health.”
Lentils also good for health
She says that lentils can also be consumed regularly, “Plants source protein include lentils with cover and seeds are very good source of protein. We should keep in mind that different kinds of lentils should be mixed and consumed.
