In culture
The lens (double-convex shaped) is called as such because the lentil is similar in shape to an optical lens. Lens is the Latin name for lentil.
Lentils are mentioned many times in the Hebrew Bible, the first time recounting the incident in which Jacob purchases the birthright from Esau with stewed lentils (a "mess of pottage").[3] In Jewish mourning tradition, lentils are traditional as food for mourners, together with boiled eggs, because their round shape symbolizes the life cycle from birth to death.
Lentils were a chief part of the diet of ancient Iranians, who consumed lentils daily in the form of a stew poured over rice.
Lentils are also commonly used in Ethiopia in a stew-like dish called kik, or kik wot, one of the dishes people eat with Ethiopia's national food, injera flat bread. Yellow lentils are used to make a non-spicy stew, which is one of the first solid foods Ethiopian women feed their babies.
In Indian Subcontinent, Dhal or lentil curry is part of everyday diet which is eaten with both rice and roti. Boiled lentil & lentil stock are used as thickening agent in most vegetarian curries. They are also used as stuffing in Dal Parathas & Puris. Lentils are also used in many regional varieties of sweets. It is considered to be one of the best foods because the internal chemical structures are not altered by cooking.
In Italy and Hungary, eating lentils on New Year's Eve traditionally symbolizes the hope for a prosperous new year, most likely because of their round, coin-like form.
In Shia narrations, lentils are said to be blessed by seventy Prophets, including Jesus and Mohammed.[4] -->
