Description
Red Split Lentils - 900 g
Red split lentils belong to the category of dried legumes and are one of the most widely used ingredients in vegetarian and plant-based cooking worldwide. The lentils are peeled and split, which gives them a characteristic orange-red color and a shorter cooking time compared to whole lentils. A great advantage of red split lentils is that they do not need to be soaked before cooking - they can go directly from rinsing to the pot, which makes them particularly practical for a busy everyday life. Preparation is simple: rinse the lentils thoroughly under cold water to remove any impurities, then cook them for approximately 20 minutes until tender. During cooking, the lentils break down into a soft, creamy consistency, making them ideal as a base for soups, dal dishes, pâtés, meatballs, and hearty stews. The taste is mild and earthy with a slight sweetness that harmonizes well with spices such as cumin, turmeric, and coriander. The texture after cooking is soft and almost purée-like, which makes them easy to work with in the kitchen. Nutritionally, red split lentils are an excellent source of plant protein with a full 20 g of protein per 100 g, and they also contain a significant carbohydrate content of 49 g per 100 g. The low salt content of only 0.03 g per 100 g makes them suitable for low-salt diets. The product is naturally gluten-free and therefore suitable for individuals with gluten intolerance or celiac disease. The package contains 900 g of dried red split lentils and should be stored dry at room temperature away from direct heat and moisture. Red split lentils are a popular choice among vegetarians, vegans, and anyone looking for a nutritious and satiating plant-based protein source. They are suitable for everyday cooking, meal prep, and as an ingredient in Middle Eastern, Indian, and North African-inspired cuisine.
