Red Lentils

Product Description

Red lentils have a brown to greyish brown seed coat and a red cotyledon. The standard quality traded and exported throughout the world is "No. 2 Canada or better" (abbreviated #2C ob").

Lentils (Lens culinaris L.) were first grown in southwest Asia about 7,**0BC in the area that is now southern Turkey and northern Syria. The plant is best adapted to the cooler temperate zones of the world, or the winter season in Mediterranean climates. The lentils are quick to cook and are part of a stable diet in many countries including India and the Middle East.

The lentil plants are typically short, compared to cereal crops, ranging from *0 to *5cm in height depending on variety and growing conditions. Flower stalks produce one to three flowers which develop pods which are less than 2.5cm in length and contain one or two seeds. These seeds are lens shaped and vary in colour and size dependent on type and variety.
 

Everyone can benefit from eating lentils. Lentils are high in fiber and complex carbohydrates, while low in fat and calories. They are naturally gluten-free, making them a delicious staple in a gluten-free kitchen. Their exceptionally low glycemic index (low GI) values and resistant starch content make them suitable for a diabetic diet. Even better, the high protein content makes lentils a perfect option for vegetarians or active people who would like to boost their protein intake.
