Small, round legumes known for their mild, earthy flavour and slightly soft texture when cooked. They are an excellent source of plant-based protein, fibre, and essential nutrients such as iron and folate. One of the advantages of brown lentils is that they cook quickly and do not require soaking, which makes them a convenient addition to a variety of dishes, including soups and salads.
 
Originating in the Middle East and parts of Asia, brown lentils have been cultivated for thousands of years. They have become a staple in many global cuisines, appreciated for their versatility and nutritional benefits. These lentils are particularly popular in vegetarian and vegan diets as a meat substitute.
 
Cooking Instructions
Begin by rinsing the lentils under cold water. In a pot, combine 1 part lentils with 2.5 parts water or broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 20 to 25 minutes. Once the lentils are cooked, drain any excess water and season to your taste.
