Red lentils
Red lentils belong to the legume family and are actually split and skinned lentils. As a result, they cook faster than most other types of lentils and, once cooked, they easily disintegrate into a creamy texture. This makes them ideal for soups, curries and purees. They have a mild, slightly sweet, nutty flavor and are very easy to digest.
Red lentils are the perfect, nutritious and quick base for many meals. They offer an excellent combination of protein, fiber and iron, making them very filling and a great plant-based meat substitute. Their creamy texture after cooking makes them ideal for making dishes thicker and more nutritious.
