Summary
This lentil dhal soup contains a variety of beneficial ingredients such as tomatoes, carrots, lentils, and spinach, which provide essential nutrients and antioxidants. However, the presence of rapeseed oil, a seed oil high in omega-6 fatty acids, is a concern due to its potential inflammatory effects and high processing level. The product is moderately processed, which limits its score despite the overall nutritious ingredient profile.
