Lentils are a lot like beans. In fact beans, lentils and peas are often grouped together and collectively called pulses. They all grow in a pod and are similar nutritionally. While pulses do contain a lot of carbohydrates, they are largely the kind of complex carbohydrates that raise blood sugar slowly. And their high fiber content also helps slow the rise in blood sugar that comes from eating other starchy foods such as rice and potatoes.
