Organic Red Lentils (Football), 1 kg

Organic red lentils (football) are a special variety of whole red lentils that retain their round shape and do not break down as quickly during cooking as regular split red lentils. They have a mild, slightly sweet flavour and a pleasant, soft yet slightly firm texture.

Thanks to their versatility, they are excellent for soups, stews, curries or as a nutritious side dish. Because they retain their shape well, they are also suitable for salads and dishes where a firmer texture is desired. They pair well with a variety of spices, especially oriental flavours such as turmeric, cumin, ginger and garlic.

Red lentils usually do not need to be soaked. Rinse before cooking, then cook for approximately 20–30 minutes, until tender while still retaining their shape.

Red lentils are an excellent choice for quick and nutritious meals and are particularly popular in vegetarian and vegan cooking. Their easy digestibility also makes them suitable for lighter meals.
