    Great article! Legumes are wonderful parts of a healthy diet, and yet they are sadly, grossly under-consumed in the West. I have a hard time cooking lentils, however. Every time I try it seems as if they’re overcooked. The green lentils end up mushy and turn into a sort of mashed potato-like substance. Maybe just let them sit in the hot water for a little whle?
