Order Red Lentils

Red lentils are among the best-known and most popular types of lentils. Our red lentils are of top quality and are a valuable addition to a healthy and varied diet. They are rich in plant-based protein, iron, and vitamin B, making them an excellent meat substitute for vegetarians and vegans.

What are red lentils?

Like kidney beans and peas, red lentils belong to the legume family. However, they are prepared like vegetables instead of grains. Red lentils are hulled, giving them a soft texture and allowing them to cook quickly. Their mild, slightly sweet, and nutty flavor makes them suitable for a wide range of dishes.

Preparation

Red lentils are the fastest-cooking type of lentils. You don't need to soak them, and they are usually cooked in 20 to 25 minutes. If you prefer to soak them, do not leave them in cold water for longer than one to two hours.

Thanks to their soft texture and subtle flavor, red lentils are perfect for soups, curries, stews, and sauces.

Storage

Red lentils have a long shelf life when stored properly. Keep them in a tightly sealed jar or bag in a cool, dry, and dark place. This way, they will remain good for up to a year and retain their flavor and nutritional value.
