There are two ingredients that I have tried to introduce in our diet more and more: lentils and quinoa. There are health benefits to both! The only problem, they aren't that good on their own.
I have found that both are great though when mixed with other ingredients and their taste becomes slightly camouflaged.
What are the health benefits of each?

For some reason I found both of these items intimidating to cook with on a regular basis. But now having used them in a number of dishes, I am confident they will continue to be a staple in our diet.
Do you eat these two items in your diet?
