Yellow lentil – a versatile and nutritious addition to cooking

Looking for a change from protein-rich and high-fibre additives to your everyday shopping list? Organic yellow lentils join Foodin’s range alongside red and green lentils to add colour and nutrition to your recipes. Lentils are used worldwide in more and more aromatic and exotic dishes, but especially in filling vegetarian dishes. Yellow lentils have a mild and slightly nutty characteristic flavour, are the size of a normal lentil in appearance and are golden yellow in colour. These lentils are packed with protein, fibre and valuable nutrients, making them a great choice for vegans and plant-based food lovers.

• A nutrient-dense addition to recipes: protein-rich, low in fat and easy on the stomach, they are suitable for a wide range of diets. 

• Quick and easy to prepare: the lentils cook in 15-20 minutes, giving you just enough time to prepare the rest of the recipe while the lentils are cooking.

• An excellent alternative to pasta and rice: an excellent and tasty alternative to more traditional side dishes.
