Retail – HEERA GREEN LENTILS – 500g

Description

Heera Green Lentils 500g, a firm, nutty lentil for salads and stews.

Green lentils are whole lentils prized for keeping their shape and a pleasant, nutty bite. This 500g bag is a single retail pack, a good size for a family meal or a batch of soup. They suit dishes where you want the lentils to stay separate rather than break down.

Key Features

• Whole green lentils that stay firm and hold their shape
• Nutty flavour that works hot or cold
• Natural source of plant protein and fibre (verify figures on pack)
• 500g single retail pack for everyday cooking
• Ideal for salads, soups, stews and spiced dals

Cooking and Uses: Rinse well, then simmer in plenty of water for around twenty five to thirty five minutes until tender but still holding together. There is no need to soak, though it is optional. Toss the cooked lentils into salads with a sharp dressing, stir into soups and stews, or spice them up as a dal. Season once soft.

Store in a cool, dry place. Once opened, keep in an airtight container and use within a reasonable time for the best results.
