Your body can’t store much folate, so you need it every day.
Lentils are part of the legume family. They're an excellent source of plant protein and complex carbohydrates and can help you create filling meals. Lentils contain about 90 percent of your daily folate requirement per one-cup serving. They are mild in flavor and can be cooked in many ways. Lentil soups are popular as a warm comfort dish, but you may choose to eat warm lentils tossed with different dried fruits such as raisins.
