Great source of protein, iron and fibre. They make for an excellent source of plant-based protein. Known as the king of lentils with a lovely peppery flavour. They cook in just 20 minutes, no need to pre-soak! Use 3 times more liquid to lentils. They hold their shape well, rather than going mushy, so make a great addition to salads, as well as soups, stews and curries. Store dried lentils in an airtight container and keep in a cool, dry place.
