Lentil soup has been consumed in the Middle East for millennia. A biblical story recounts that Esau, the older brother of the Jewish Patriarch Jacob, sold his birthright to his sibling in exchange for a bowl of lentil soup. In Middle Eastern cuisine, lentil soup is often sprinkled with cumin.
While the aroma of cumin enhances the dish, cumin also helps in the digestion of lentils, as it helps to relieve the discomfort that may be caused by the fermentation of starches by gut bacteria.
