A good source of protein with a slightly sweeter taste than traditional lentils, Cadia Organic Red Lentils are perfect to thicken soups and stews or as an ingredient in curries. Organic red lentils are an excellent source of fiber and a good source of protein. Red lentils do not require soaking and soften easily. Because they soften so nicely, they are great for soups and stews and ready in just 6-12 minutes. What makes red lentils stand out from their other lentil cousins? They break down while cooking, creating a creamy texture and slightly sweet, nutty flavor. The perfect recipe base for curries, soups, stews, dips, and Indian dal. No preservatives. Lentils are a natural agricultural product. Despite the use of modern cleaning equipment, it is not always possible to remove all foreign materials. Sort, remove foreign material and rinse lentils before cooking. Created for neighborhood natural markets. Certified B Corporation. Cadia, is a brand of KeHE, a Certified B Corp.
