Lentils are a great alternative to animal protein, especially if combined with cereals. In addition to their attractive colour and delicious taste, they are a valuable source of protein, as can be seen in the recommended daily value. Did you know that 70g of these lentils provide approximately 33%* of your daily protein requirement?

Consigli di utilizzo

These lentils do not require soaking. However, we recommend rinsing them first in cold water before placing them in a pot with about 500ml of water for every 100g of product. Allow around 70g per person: bring to a boil before covering and cooking on a low heat for 8-10 min. Once cooked, add salt to flavour and to prevent the lentils from becoming hard and crunchy. If using a pressure cooker, the cooking time should be halved.
