Yellow Lentils

Lentils are indispensable as part of a balanced diet,
Lentils are a valuable source of protein, since they contain all 8 essential amino acids.
Lentils are rich in fibre and stimulate the digestion.
Lentils are packed with B vitamins and fortify the nerves.
Lentils are rich in iron, magnesium, zinc and folic acid.
Lentils have a low glycaemic index.
Lentils have a very high antioxidant capacity of 7282 µmol TE (ORAC value = Oxygen Radical Absorption Capacity).
The body’s defence mechanisms are strengthened by foods rich in antioxidants, and this helps to neutralise excessive production of free radicals. The recommended ORAC daily requirement is between 5000 and 7000.
Our yellow lentils are carefully peeled for a milder taste and shorter cooking times. Peeling makes them easier to digest. Yellow lentils are soft after cooking and disintegrate if cooked for longer. Softened lentils are a popular ingredient in spreads and Indian dahls.
They are ready cooked (in a normal saucepan) in 10 minutes.
