I really like lentils, Dal Makhani is great as a chili alternative, and not hot spicy, used a packet base and added white beans, okra and red pepper. Packet Dal stews are a easy way to get really authentic very tasty dishes.

Lentils are undemanding plants from drier regions, yet at the same time they are extremely rich in protein and are real power packs, full of minerals and trace elements.

Lentils .......... are extremely rich in protein and are real power packs, full of minerals and trace elements.

Minerals cannot be manufactured by anything, including lentils. The Earth has all of the minerals it ever had or ever will have.
If the minerals are not present in the SOIL, they are not present in the plants growing from that soil, so this statement makes no sense. Lentils have no more minerals than any other plant grown in the same soil.
They made the same statement ("lentils are full of minerals and trace elements") in the video. Aren't minerals on the periodic chart - which would mean that they are elements making that conjunction redundant?
Sounds like they're just hyping people to eat commercial lentils which are grown and harvested like grain plants, using toxic sprays.
I smell big agri-biz BS.

No issue with those. Love 'em, like all legumes.
