Greece is famous for its pulses which represent a product of an exceptional taste and nutritional value. Nowadays, the nutritional value of legumes is recognized internationally, as they are an essential part of the Mediterranean Diet Pyramid. For vegetarians and those trying to reduce intake of animal foods, beans provide a protein-rich, low-fat alternative to meat.
Greek Lentils Salad, a delicious combination of 6 different varieties of high-quality Greek Lentils and Peas (Medium Lentils, Thin Lentils, Red Lentils, Black Lentils, Green Peas, Split Peas) is a very good source of cholesterol-lowering fiber. Not only do lentils help lower cholesterol, they are of special benefit in managing blood-sugar disorders since their high fiber content prevents blood sugar levels from rising rapidly after a meal. But this is far from all lentils have to offer. Greek Lentils also provide good to excellent amounts of seven important minerals, our B-vitamins, iron, and protein—all with virtually no fat. The calorie cost of all this nutrition? Just 230 calories for a whole cup of cooked lentils. This tiny nutritional giant fills you up—not out.
Lentils can be prepared on the day of serving since they do not need to be presoaked. Before washing lentils you should spread them out on a light-colored plate or cooking surface to check for, and remove, small stones or debris. After this process, place the lentils in a strainer and rinse them thoroughly under cool running water. They are also easy to boil. You can enjoy them as a soup and as a cold salad with vegetables and tuna. Once you have mashed the lentils, you can serve them as a dip or even as a side dish with meat or fish but always framed with Greek Olive Oil. Lentils are great in risottos as well.

Bulgur is an edible cereal grain made from dried, cracked wheat — most commonly durum wheat. It is parboiled, or partially cooked so that it can be prepared relatively quickly. When cooked, it has a similar consistency to couscous or quinoa. Bulgur originated in the Mediterranean and can be traced back thousands of years. To this day, it’s a staple ingredient in many Greek, Middle Eastern and Mediterranean dishes.
Greek Bulgur is an amazing source of dietary fibre, protein, iron, and vitamin B6 and contains gluten. Bulgur doesn't lose much from its minimal processing; it remains high in protein and minerals. That means it's an ideal foundation for meals, allowing you to skip higher-fat protein sources, like most meats.
When you look at bulgur and quinoa, they kinda look similar. But the difference is that bulgur is precooked cracked wheat, while quinoa is actually a seed. If you look at the nutrition comparison for both, quinoa is more nutritionally dense. Of all the quinoa colours, white quinoa has the most delicate taste and the lightest texture and it cooks up a bit fluffier than other types of quinoa. Red quinoa (which takes on a brownish hue when cooked) has a richer taste, slightly chewier and heartier texture, and somewhat nuttier flavour compared to white quinoa.
The cooking process is similar to that of rice or couscous in that boiling water is used to soften the grain. For every one part bulgur, you typically need about two parts water. It’s frequently used in salads — like tabbouleh — or pilafs, alongside herbs, vegetables, spices and sometimes other grains. It can be used as a base for breakfast-style porridges with oats, or in soups, stews and chilli.
