Organic Coral Lentils – 500g

Lentils are very interesting legumes. They are very rich in vegetable proteins and fibres, as well as in minerals and trace elements (phosphorus, iron, manganese, copper, folate, zinc). They are more digestible than other legumes and have a shorter cooking time. Rich in lysine, they are complementary to cereals. They improve the balance of a cereal and vegetable meal. Coral lenses are orange in colour and are more common in North Africa. They are peeled lenses (hence their colour) that cook very quickly.
