LENTILS, CRIMSON, OG
ORCRIMSPLIT-10
Description:
This small lentil that is crimson in color is actually softer than green lentils. The texture is actually more like a soft pea than a lentil, thus making Crimson Lentils a perfect choice for soups or dishes where you require a thicker consistency. These tiny little tidbits are wonderful in Dhal, a spicy lentil dish served with flat bread. Used in vegetarian cooking as a meat substitute, these tiny lentils are low in fat and high in protein and fiber. A staple food for many South Asian cultures, lentils have been eaten for over 8000 years.
Gluten Free
DO NOT SOAK CRIMSON LENTILS. Simmer 1 cup of crimson lentils with 4 cups of water. Cook 12 minutes for salads, 15 to 20 minutes for main dishes. One cup dry yields 2 cups cooked.
