Red lentils are among the most well-known and popular lentil varieties. Our red lentils are of top quality and a valuable addition to a healthy and balanced diet. They are rich in plant-based proteins, 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, not like grains. Red lentils are hulled, which gives them a soft texture and makes them quick to cook. Their mild, slightly sweet, and nutty flavor makes them suitable for a wide range of dishes.

Preparation

Red lentils are the fastest-cooking lentil variety. They do not need to be soaked and are usually cooked in 20 to 25 minutes. If you still 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 if stored properly. Store 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.
