Organic Red Lentils

Lentils are one of the world’s oldest cultivated foods, with origins dating back to the Fertile Crescent over 8,000 years ago. Archaeological discoveries in Syria, Jordan, Turkey, Iran, and Greece confirm their long-standing role in human diets. Today, lentils remain a staple across West Asia, the Mediterranean, Latin America, and Southeast Asia, especially in Indian cuisine.

Lentils are packed with protein; the only legume with a higher ratio of protein to food energy is the soybean! Additionally, they are a rich source of vitamins B1 and B5 (thiamine and pantothenic acid), folate, iron, zinc, phosphorus, copper, and manganese.
