Am I the last to notice that lentils go from avoid to NEUTRAL for us nonnies? They are avoids for secretor O's but neutral for us (oh, wait--I just said that!). Ha! That so rarely happens! It is usually the other way! Like with strawberries. Pffft. Don't get me started. Anyway, we can have lentils! Who knew? Not I.
Not that I really want a lentil, mind you. But it is just nice to know we have permission *lol*. Especially since, there is this wonderful carribean restaurant in town that makes a delicious pumpkin soup (omg, omg, OMG). But sometimes they put lentils in it, so I not only never order that, I never go to that restaurant because I know I'll WANT to order that. But now I COULD. ...Except, what do you want to bet there is wheat flour or cornstarch in the soup as a thickener, too?
Anyway...lentils! Hey, I just thought of something: since sprouted lentils are in basically EVERY ezekiel bread out there, it is exciting from that perspective, too. Not that we should be eating the grains in the ezekiel, but at least they are sprouted, and at least we know the sprouted lentil in there isn't a foe.
Yay, team!
2, 4, 6, 8, what do we appreciate? Lentils, lentils, yaaaaay, lentils!

Bring on the dosa bread and maybe a little pappadam.
Lentil flour is pretty versatile and mild. I think I blogged some cookies that used lentil flour and brown rice flour. I have a more sinful cookie recipe, but these fit the bill just fine and are lower carb.
I tend to over-enjoy those few foods that nonnies only can have

I've been sprouting lentils for a long time and find them to be very delicious. Plus, the sprouting ups the protein content. Here's a link for more info on sprouting. There is a plethora of information on this site.

Not to rain on your parade, Drea, but wasn't there something around here a few months back about sprouted lentils developing a lectin that's bad for some people? Very fuzzy memory ....
I just bought my first *legal* pappadums since BTDing, now that I'm a Nonnie Princess. Happy happy joy joy. (ok, so they're not 100%, ingredients-wise, but I pick & choose my times for nit-picking - i'll probably learn how to make them w/a compliant oil) Now to figure out what to do with that coconut oil I just bought! Avoid to neutral, folks!

Drea, found this:
Quoted Text
Injections of lentil lectin into the knee joint cavity of non-sensitized rabbits resulted in the development of arthritis which was indistinguishable morphologically from rheumatoid.
.....lectins can be used exclusively to maintain transplants in animals for up to two years. Lentil lectin induces striking transplant tolerance In both mice and humans.

Lola, I'm confused by that post on lectins. The first statement sounded like lentil lectin causes joint problems that are like Rheumatoid arthritis. Later down, the statement sounds like lentil lectin turns off R. Arthritis.

They are for different species. A lectin may be bene for a rabbit but avoid for a horse. Different blood type, genetics and so on.
The testing that matters to us is testing on humans. Animal testing is great in some areas, weak in others.

right, this info was fished from this site........I guess Dr D wanted us to have other points of view to build our own criteria.
