I've been unemployed for almost 6 months and waiting for my next paycheck in 5 days, out of oatmeal and basic foods and saving my last remaining food i found an 2 year old bag of lentils, after dusting it off i washed them and left them rinsing overnight, today i cooked them with a clove of garlick, some onion and half a potato and salt and you got yourself lentils soup for the next 4-5 days. I'm buying a couple extra bags when my paycheck comes in.

I am indian and in Ayurveda which is the ancient Indian medical system it is recommended to use dry ginger powder while cooking lentils. Never eat canned versions and always soak overnight, cook it in open lid pan instead of any cooker. While cooking the white foam can be removed which is usually the lecithin and other anti nutrients.

I have a huge respect for Indian culture. But please, do not spread misinformation. The content of the foam is basically same as the water it's cooking in. I see no reason why you should avoid cookers or cook it in open lid. Fresh ginger is always the best, but it's fine to use whatever.

I have just tried out cooking this dish according to your recipe, and I must honestly admit it was one of the most delicious things I have ever eaten. I have boosted it with a small addition of mushrooms and a pinch of extra spices (pepper, oregano). Thank you for this inspirational video.

It seems like you're putting even more effort into making your video's recently. I love how educational this is. You're killing it dude! :)

Bro I’m grateful to your channel, I’m only in my 2nd week of Veganism, and your channel was recommended amongst many others. I watched PBN’s 52 minute doccie on LENTILS and I was shook at the benefits of the bean👌🏿 looked for recipes and yours popped up again and I love how you’ve prepared yours here along with other ingredients. I am South African and Lentils grow pretty much everywhere here, been a very new veganist I’m soooo gonna five deep into eating them. Thank you for your great content and educating many people out there,though I’m only on my 8th day of Veganism today,I’m mixing it with Intermittent Fasting, I feel good so far but the challenge is real, having to say no to meat,dairy,sugar,fizzy drinks after 41 years of my existence is no joke,I’m however,taking it one day at a time,I’m in no rush nor in competition with no one and this is a battle I want to win and prove to ignorant people that VEGANISM IS THE WAY and not only is it the way but THE BEST WAY TO THE BEST HEALTH out there. After watching PBN’s Doccie and your enthusiastic approach to Veganism I am firmly convinced that THE MEAT INDUSTRY’s dominance is slowly but surely getting crippled. My aim with this is to be a great example to my people that VEGANISM works,one can build a healthy body and mind through this lifestyle,if I can do it then anybody can do it. Peace Be upon you bro and May your channel grow to a Million subscribers, I am new subscriber and love your channel, I will spread to my friends as soon as I reach the physique that’s gonna speak for itself😉 coz right now I’m not really there...I’m a cyclist,runner,walker and jump rope I’m a relatively fit guy,I’m a huge fan of Intermittent Fasting. I took up a healthy lifestyle only last year in March 2020, when I began I was an obese blob at a scale breaking 92kg and with steady work over the past 12 months came down to a leaner 68KG, my goal is to get to as low as 65KG, with my new PBD I’m pretty certain I’m gonna get there, only then am I gonna start lifting weights to build muscle,I do have muscle but my body’s not as defined...by beginning October I should be ripped enough to show off,only then will I refer peeps to your channel should they ask how I did it with no meat and other dangerous sources of protein. Your new fan✌🏿🇿🇦

THANK YOU--THANK YOU--for all the enthusiasm, recipe ideas, info & just being a glowing beacon to show up and make me always smile!!

this is amazing man ! very informative. i am a middle eastern and although lentils are common dishes here but this is the first time I've learned these information in your first half of the video. a simple advice to cook lentils is to soak them for couple of hours before cooking as this makes them easier to cook and won't make you gassy afterwards.

I'm loving this series Derek!

I like everthing especially the history/background of the foods. Helps me explain stuff to the curious around me. Thank you Derek.

Thank you Derek! Purchased lentils for the first time this weekend. Adding it to my meal prep. I appreciate what you do. Keep crushing it! Found your channel looking for calisthenics info and stayed for the “how to eat healthy and make gains”. I am not vegan but I’m eating a lot of plant based, whole Foods and less animal protein due to your help. Feeling great, making healthy beginner gains.

this is seriously the best channel on youtube, always worth it to spend time watching your videos!

Love this series! I’m probably going to end up making every dish you share
