Vegan Lentil Loaf

Lentils are rich in proteins, essential amino acids, minerals, fiber, antioxidants, and anti-inflammatory phytochemicals. Because they score low on the glycemic index, their consumption is beneficial for individuals with diabetes.  Studies have linked lentil consumption to reduced incidence of diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular diseases. Lentil protein exhibits ACE-inhibitory activity, which is crucial for controlling high blood pressure.
