Lentils (Dry)

Lentils (Dry) is a staple legume used across cuisines from South Asia to the Mediterranean; varieties include red (masoor), brown and split lentils and they appear in soups, dals, stews and flours. They are prized for quick cooking (especially red lentils) and a mild, earthy flavor that absorbs spices and broths well. Nutritionally, Lentils (Dry) are a concentrated source of plant protein and fibre — providing 30.5g of fiber per hundred grams — while remaining low in fat. They also contribute important micronutrients such as folate and copper and are commonly used to boost the protein and fiber content of vegetarian meals. From a health perspective, lentils are an excellent choice for supporting satiety, blood-sugar control and heart health because of their combination of slow-digesting carbohydrates, fiber and plant protein; they also deliver valuable B vitamins and minerals, making them a nutrient-dense pantry staple.
