Organic Red Lentils, 500g
Please select your product
These reddish or light brown lentil varieties are farmed in the neighbouring Lorraine region of France but originate in the Champagne region. There is ample evidence that they have always been known as ‘Lorraine lentils’ in German-speaking countries.
Hieronymus Bock (1489-1554) writes in his 1546 Kräuterbuch about Lorraine lentils: “They are like other lentils, only much more beautiful”. The Correspondenzblatt des Königlich Württembergischen Landwirtschaftlichen Vereins of 1836 also mentions “red lentils from the Lorraine”.
These hearty lentils have a distinctive slightly nutty flavour and are a gift for every creative cook.
Our organic red lentils don’t necessarily need to be soaked. They do not disintegrate as easily as other lentil varieties when cooked but tend to retain their shape. That makes them perfect in salads or as a side dish. Cooking time: around 20 minutes.
