Understand the future of plant protein with this comprehensive overview
Lentils are one of the oldest and most widely cultivated crop species in the world and a leading global source of protein, carbohydrates, and dietary fiber, as well as numerous micro-nutrients. In recent years, they have emerged as a leading candidate to form the basis of non-meat protein substitutes, a skyrocketing industry with immense climate and public health implications. There has never been a more urgent need to understand the cultivation and use of these flexible, resource-rich crops.
Lentils provides a comprehensive overview of every stage in the lentil production chain, from cultivation to processing to sale to consumption. It focuses particularly on pre- and post-harvest processing, alerting readers to the possibilities of lentils in a newly health- and environmentally-conscious global food marketplace. The result is a thorough, highly accessible, and navigable introduction to a vital subject.
