Whole Red Lentils Organic
Country of Origin: Australia
Lentils have been part of man’s diet for over 4000
years! Remains of lentils have been found in Egyptian tombs and some murals which date back to 1200
BC. Therefore, lentils are said to be one of the first cultivated crops. They are well known
globally and are cooked in many different ways depending on which part of the world you are
from!
Whole red lentils cook more quickly than other lentils and
are great for dhal, soups and stews.
Lentils (as are most lentils) are low in fat and are high in
fibre for good digestive function and also to assist in lowering cholesterol re-absorption. They
also contain magnesium.
According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, lentils have a
neutral thermal nature and are beneficial to the heart, circulation, stimulate adrenal function and
increases vitality of the kidneys.
Remember that combining lentils with a grain (like rice)
gives you complete protein. Also, it's helpful to remember that sprouted lentils contain extra
nutrients and are easier to digest due to their enzyme content.
