{"product_id":"med-149","title":"Lentil Soup with Lemon \u0026Cumin","description":"\u003ch2\u003e🧠 Brain Health Benefits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLentil Soup with Lemon and Cumin is one of the most powerful brain-health soups in the Mediterranean tradition. Lentils are extraordinarily rich in folate, which reduces homocysteine — a key biomarker for Alzheimer's risk. They also provide plant-based iron for oxygen delivery to the brain, and slow-release protein for sustained cognitive energy. Cumin contains thymoquinone, shown to protect neurons from oxidative damage and reduce amyloid plaque formation. Lemon provides vitamin C that enhances iron absorption and protects brain cells. Turmeric adds curcumin for anti-inflammatory neuroprotection. Simple, golden, and profoundly healing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e🗄️ Cabinet Ingredients Needed\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLentils — CAB-77 (ing-cab-770)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtra Virgin Olive Oil — CAB-54 (ing-cab-540)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCumin Ground — CAB-50 (ing-cab-500)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoriander Seeds — CAB-46 (ing-cab-460)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmoked Paprika — CAB-87 (ing-cab-870)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSalt — CAB-95 (ing-cab-950)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack Pepper — CAB-21 (ing-cab-210)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRed Pepper Flakes — CAB-90 (ing-cab-900)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVegetable Broth — CAB-128 (ing-cab-1280)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e🛒 Fresh Ingredients Needed\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTurmeric (ing-fr-1360)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCelery (ing-fr-2370)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eItalian Parsley Fresh Minced (ing-fr-540)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e🍋 Not Applicable (NA)\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLemon Fresh (ing-na-160)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWater (ing-na-200)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e👨🍳 Cooking Instructions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
