Something you can make with lentils
Origin
Lentils are one of the oldest cultivated crops and have been consumed by humans for thousands of years. They are believed to have originated in the Near East, specifically in the region that includes modern-day Iraq, Turkey, and Syria. Lentils were also widely cultivated in ancient Egypt and Greece. From there, they spread to other parts of the world through trade and exploration. Today, lentils are grown in many countries, including India, Canada, Turkey, and the United States, among others.
