Organic split yellow lentils 2 kg

As they are already peeled, you don't have to soak the yellow lentils. However, we recommend rinsing the peeled legumes with hot water before cooking them. Then put about double the amount of fresh water in a saucepan and cook the yellow lentils in it until the desired texture is achieved; the cooking time for yellow lentils is between 10 and 15 minutes and, since our yellow lentils are actually halves, their cooking time is even shorter. Exactly how long the yellow lentils should cook depends on how you plan to use the legumes: a shorter cooking time is recommended for a lentil salad or as a side dish with a bite, while for a creamy Dal, you should cook them a bit longer. Tip: adding salt to the water will make them less soft.

Both red and yellow lentils are peeled darker lentils, which we know as green or brown lentils. In contrast to the sweet and mild-tasting red lentils, yellow lentils have a heartier taste, and, thanks to their fine, nutty taste, are great to enrich soups and salads, to make delicious spreads, and as a base for aromatic Dals. Also, unlike their red cousin, yellow lentils keep their beautiful yellow colour when cooked.

Yes, with 25 grams of it per 100, yellow lentils are very high in plant-based protein, which can help you build and maintain muscle mass.

Yes, our organic yellow lentils are 100 % plant-based and free of animal products, and therefore vegan.

Lentils are naturally gluten-free. However, cross-contamination with gluten can occur during the filling process, as our bottler also processes foods containing gluten, which is why we do not label our yellow lentils as gluten-free.

Unopened, these yellow lentils keep for at least two years after packaging; but their shelf life depends largely on the correct storage - cool and dry. If the dried lenses have passed their est-before date (BBD), not to be confused with the expiring date, there is no reason to blindly throw them away. The best-before date only states until when the properties of a food such as taste, smell, colour, texture, and nutritional value remain at least unchanged, therefore we generally recommend a visual inspection and, if necessary, an odour and taste test before consumption.

The basis for a healthy life is a balanced and wholesome diet. Unprocessed and very high in protein and fibre, yellow lentils can therefore be a wonderful addition to a healthy diet. Proteins, for example, help maintain muscle mass and normal bones, and keep you full.

There are so many dishes you can make with our yellow lentils! Like all other types of lentils, yellow lentils can be served as a side dish, used to enrich soups, stews, Dals and curries, and to make vegan patties. Like red lentils, yellow lentils are also a great meat replacement for a vegan Bolognese sauce, as they give it structure and a hearty taste. They can also be served cold as a lentil salad or bowl. Since our yellow lenses are small pieces of lens, they can be processed particularly well; try making patties and spreads like lentil hummus. Set no limits to your creativity!
