Mankai or Water Lentil – The New Superfood That Could Replace Meat
Consumption of animal-based food raises several issues, such as the environmental impact of intensive farming. This is why we need vegetarian substitues to meat, just like mankai. Native to Southeast Asia, it is a protein-rich plant that also contains amino acids, B12 and iron. Its intake could therefore be a good solution to limit the consumption of products of animal origin. In addition, eating mankai allows to reduce postprandial glycemic response.
