Description
 
Lentils are a natural, nutritious and delicious food.  The Wimmera Grain Store lentils come straight from the paddocks grown in the Wimmera/Mallee region, cleaned and packed in the area to your pantry, so we think you cannot get more natural than this !
 
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 ie from vegan, vegetarian, flexitarian, gluten free to simply the healthy minded.
 
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.
 
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.
 
The rich soils of the Wimmera /Mallee can grow some of the highest quality and diverse range of lentils in the world.
 
There are many different varieties of whole red lentils, but the medium size, a nugget or jumbo which we have grown on our own family farm over the years, are our favourites.  
 
They have a tasty and distinct flavour, almost brown in color, they hold their shape well and are larger in size and softer in bite than the Wimmera grown French Green (du puy) or Black Lentils.
 
Uses
Great for Middle Eastern spiced food including salads, soups, casseroles, slow cookers, curries, lamb or sausage.  Easy to cook these lentils are ready in just 15-20 minutes. Or pop them straight into the dish you are cooking, after rinsing and they will be ready in approximately 15-20 minutes
