The plants are about 1 foot tall with small bluish-white flowers. Lentils are planted in the winter and are harvested in late spring or early summer. Lentils contain mostly insoluble fiber, while beans and peas contain both soluble and insoluble fiber. Insoluble fiber is found in peas, beans and lentils, wheat bran, vegetables, fruits, whole grains and breads. Insoluble fiber speeds up the passage of food through the intestine and helps in improving regularity.
Insoluble fiber is believed to have a role in the prevention of colon cancer.
