Product features
Flavor profile: The lentils have a mild, slightly sweet, and earthy flavor. Unlike some heartier lentil varieties, they are not intensely flavored, which allows them to easily absorb the seasonings of a dish.
Cooking attributes: They are easy to prepare and do not require pre-soaking. When cooked, they soften easily and break down, which helps create a thick, creamy consistency for soups, curries, and stews. They cook in just 15 to 20 minutes.
Dietary attributes: Ziyad red lentils are all-natural, vegan, and vegetarian, with no artificial flavors or colors. They are also high in plant-based protein, fiber, and essential nutrients like iron and potassium.
