Description
Organic Red Lentils - 900 g
Red lentils belong to the legume category and are considered one of the most nutrient-dense plant-based foods available. The product consists exclusively of 100% organically grown red lentils, certified under DK-ØKO-100, which guarantees production without synthetic pesticides or artificial fertilizers. As a dried legume, they are extremely practical to store and have a long shelf life when stored in a dry and cool place. A major advantage of red lentils is that they do not need to be soaked before cooking, unlike many other legumes. They are cooked directly in water or broth for approximately 20 to 30 minutes, after which they naturally achieve a soft and creamy consistency. This characteristic makes them particularly suitable for thick soups, Indian dahl dishes, stews, and sauces, where a smooth and rich texture is desired. Red lentils can also be used as a side dish in salads or as a protein source in vegetarian and vegan dishes. The taste is mild and earthy with a subtle nutty undertone that pairs well with spices such as cumin, turmeric, and coriander. The nutritional content per 100 g is impressive: the product provides 1500 kJ equivalent to 358 kcal, contains 27 g protein, 52 g carbohydrates, and only 2.9 g fat, making it an excellent protein source for those looking to reduce meat consumption. The salt content is very low with just 0.02 g per 100 g, and the sugar content is modest with 3 g per 100 g. The product is packaged in a sealed 900 g bag, suitable for families and food enthusiasts who prepare larger portions. Red lentils are naturally gluten-free and contain no additives, making them a pure and unprocessed food choice. They appeal to vegetarians, vegans, health-conscious consumers, and anyone looking to include more plant-based protein in their diet. The product is ideal for everyday cooking, meal prep, and as a base in Asian and Middle Eastern-inspired cuisine. Keywords: organic red lentils, plant protein legume
