Product Description
One essential ingredient in vegan cuisine is red lentils, which originally come from the Mediterranean region but have gained popularity from Asia to North America because they are very easy and quick to prepare, and also a great source of plant-based protein.
Importance, impacts:
Like other legumes, red lentils are high in protein and fiber, which can help increase feelings of fullness and are beneficial for those looking to manage their weight. They contain several important minerals such as iron. In addition, red lentils are rich in phytonutrients, which may promote the maintenance of health and prevention of diseases.
Red lentils also contain antinutritional factors, which can impair the absorption of certain nutrients (e.g. iron). However, the amount of antinutritional factors can be reduced by soaking the lentils or cooking them for a longer period of time.
Usage:
Red lentils cook very quickly, depending on whether you want to use them as a cream or whole, the cooking time is 10-15 minutes. No need to soak before cooking, just rinse. Red lentils can be consumed in soups, as a side dish, stew, can be made into patties, filling, pate, and can also be part of salads.
