These organic red lentils are thinner and milder in flavor than darker varieties. They cook more quickly (in just 15-20 minutes) and form a puree readily, making them ideal for loaves, burgers, and pureed soups or dips. They are a great meat substitute in sloppy joes, chilis, and casseroles. Sort and rinse thoroughly before cooking. These lentils are grown in rotation with wheat or barley on the same farm ground. Since lentils and wheat are similar in size, trace amounts of wheat may be found in these lentils. Sourced from Azure Standard; grown in Idaho or Washington. Cooking Instuctions: Cook using 3 cups liquid (water or stock of your choice) to 1 cup dry lentils. Be sure to use a large enough saucepan for the lentils to double or triple in size. Bring to a boil, cover tightly, reduce heat, and simmer until tender (about 15–20 minutes). Order now in an exchangeable, reusable container. Already have a Full Circle bulk food container?
