Lentils
Lentils are legumes that generally have a rich nutty flavor. They also cook much faster than dried beans and do not require soaking. Lentil s are sold whole or split and some have had the hulls removed. The green and brown lentils hold their shape best after cooking, and are the most common types used in the United States. Lentils are much more digestible than meat and are delicious as a meat and protein substitute in many countries. They have a high nutritional value with fiber, B-vitamins, and protein. Bonus points for Lentils: low calorie, no fat, no cholestrol.
Lentils are generally used in soups and stews; but are also delicious in salads and in casseroles. Green and brown lentils hold their shape fairly well if not overcooked and can be added to salads and other dishes. The varieties such as red and yellow that become softer after cooking, are used mainly in stews and soups, as thickeners, or are made into purees.

Red Lentils

The Red Lentil is a small split Lentil most commonly used in Middle Eastern or Indian food dishes. Very popular in Turkey, theses lentils are generally found hulled and split, revealing their red orange coloring. They cook up fairly soft, that is why they work well to thicken soups, to make purees, for snacks and even quick main meals. Red Lentils have a fantastic subtle nut-like flavor and are easy to cook for making healthy dishes that comfort the soul and delight the taste-buds! Try some of our Red Lentils today!
