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 !
 
Green lentils are a softer and milder style of lentil. Larger in size than our other lentils, they take a bit longer to cook (15-20 minutes) and have a softer finish which absorbs the flavours within the dish well.
 
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.*
 
They 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 soups casseroles, slow cookers, curries or even baking.  You can soak before cooking and they will be ready in just 10 minutes.  Or pop them straight in, after rinsing and they will be ready in 25 minutes.
