Description
 
Lentils are a natural, nutritious and delicious food.  The Wimmera Grain Store lentils come straight from local paddocks, cleaned and packed in the area, making them unprocessed, natural and low in food miles !
 
Black lentils are uniquely grown in the Wimmera and are a rare treat with their stunning shiny black coat. They get their name from Mt Byron in the Black Ranges of the Wimmera where these lentils are farmed. This style of lentil is a rich source of antioxidants.
 
High in plant protein, fibre and naturally gluten free, these lentils do not have any add sugar, dairy or preservatives and they are not genetically modified.
 
Lentils are a relatively inexpensive food and are a great way to cater for families with a diverse range of dietary needs eg from vegan, vegetarian, flexitarian, to those seeking gluten free products. *
 
Lentils also expand in volume when cooked. One cup of dried lentils can make two cups of cooked, making meals go further for larger families or those on a tight budget.
 
Lentils can be stored in your pantry for months and are handy to have on hand just like rice and pasta (but packed with a few more nutrients!)
 
Dried lentils take on the flavors of what they are cooked with, lending them to being a very tasty ingredient to some fabulous dishes.
 
Uses
Great for salads, sides, casseroles or braised to accompany poultry, lamb or sausage.
Lentils do not require soaking before cooking. Quick to cook these lentils are ready in just 10-15 minutes and hold their shape well, developing a deep olive colour when ready, which contrasts beautifully with fish, poultry and in salads.
