Organic Split Red Lentils (5 oz)

Discover the vibrant, earthy flavor of our Organic Split Red Lentils, a nutritional powerhouse perfect for adding depth and goodness to your favorite meals. These small, reddish-orange legumes cook quickly and break down easily, making them a versatile staple for curries, stews, soups, and even thickening sauces. A key ingredient in many cuisines, red lentils are celebrated for their mild, slightly sweet taste and creamy texture when cooked. They're particularly popular in Indian and Middle Eastern dishes like dal, but their adaptability extends to Caribbean soups and African stews, offering a delicious and healthy way to incorporate plant-based protein into your diet. Our organic split red lentils are pre-split, which means they cook much faster than whole lentils, saving you valuable time in the kitchen. To prepare, simply rinse the lentils and simmer in water or broth for about 15-20 minutes, or until tender. For a richer flavor, try sautéing some onions, garlic, and spices like cumin, coriander, and turmeric before adding the lentils and liquid. Red lentils pair beautifully with coconut milk, tomatoes, spinach, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Consider using them to create a hearty Trinidadian dhalpuri, a flavorful Indian sambar, or a creamy Moroccan lentil soup. These lentils are a fantastic source of fiber and protein, making them a healthy and satisfying addition to any meal, and are sure to become a pantry favorite. Each bag contains 5 ounces of pure, organic goodness, ready to transform your next culinary creation.
