Brown Lentils (Organic) - 500g
Ceres Organics like their food wholesome and pure. So their brown lentils are just that! Straight up goodness. A vegetarian favourite, this nourishing wholefood provides high levels of protein and dietary fibre, while being naturally low in fat and sugar. Lentils readily absorb the flavours of the ingredients they are cooked with, making them super versatile. They’re great in both hot and cold dishes, including hearty meals, soups and salads.
Ingredients: Certified Organic Brown Lentils
Origin: Packed in New Zealand from imported ingredients (Canada / Turkey)
Certification: BioGro Organic
Enjoy Me...
- The great thing about lentils is they don’t require pre-soaking before you cook them but soaking them will reduce their phytate content.
- Rinse lentils before cooking. Put 1 cup of lentils into 4 cups of boiling water. Cover and simmer for 20-25 minutes until tender. Add seasoning as desired.
- Include in hearty and warming soups, stews and curries
How Interesting...
- Lentils are legumes along with other types of beans. They grow in pods that contain either one or two lentil seeds that are round, oval or heart-shaped disks and are oftentimes smaller than the tip of a pencil eraser. They are available, whole or split into halves with the brown and green varieties being the best at retaining their shape after cooking.
- These tiny nutritional giants are rich in fibre and a good source of protein and iron. In addition to having a host of other nutrients, lentils are low in fat and low in sugar. They are a staple in vegetarian diets.
