Lentils
Though we are today eating the grains, beans, legumes, and lentils, unfortunately we are losing the husk, which has all kinds of oils, minerals, and roughage essential for bowel movement, and nutritionally it provides benefits to the human body. The Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.S.) has strictly forbidden the Muslims to throw away the husk but rather to utilize it. All husks are sugar-free and can form an excellent part of the diet for diabetics. Such food gives them energy and controls the diabetes. The husk is soaked overnight and cooked in the morning with egg white as a loaf for breakfast. For lunch or dinner the diabetic can add pieces of meat or poultry.
It is also mentioned that if you eat squash with lentils, and if with this meal one consumes pomegranate, it will not only help digestion but will protect the human body from diseases. Lentils make the food light and make the eye water. Lentils and melon seeds are ground together and used as a facial cleanser.
Since it is considered as poor man’s diet, the Prophet requires us to be thankful to the Almighty and humbly eat whatever is available and take its benefits. Lentils also have the ability to make the blood thick and are good for stroke victims.
The combination of some foods also is bad for health. For instance, it is bad to cook dried fish with lentils. Some of these combinations have different effects on the female.
