The Humble Lentil

Lentils are a plant-based protein packed with fiber, iron, and slow-digesting carbohydrates. They are affordable and easy to incorporate into soups and soft meals.

Why Lentils Matter for Pancreatic Cancer Patients

Many patients need nourishing foods that provide steady energy without being too heavy. Lentils offer protein and key minerals in an easy-to-digest form.

Lentils support:

• Plant-based protein intake: Helps maintain muscle when appetite is low.
• Digestive support: Fiber promotes gut health and regularity.
• Steady energy: Slow carbs help stabilize blood sugar.
• Iron and folate: Important for energy and cell repair.

For sensitive digestion, well-cooked lentils in soups or purees are often easiest to tolerate.

Lentils are a nourishing source of protein that supports energy, digestion, and recovery for pancreatic cancer patients.

*Lentils may not be suitable on a low-fiber diet.
