They are rich in energy-giving protein, are low in fat and are also a great source of magnesium, the natural muscle relaxing mineral. Split lentils are also very high in folate, manganese and iron and are a good source of potassium, B6 and B1.
Cooking with Split Red Lentils
Split red lentils don’t need soaking and they quickly soften when cooked to make the perfect for dahl. Simply rinse first and put 1 cup of the lentils in 1.5 cups of water and cook for around 20 minutes. Split red lentils are great cooked with onion, garlic, turmeric, tomato and cumin. Cooked lentils will keep well in the fridge for about 4 days or uncooked in the cupboard for up to one year. These organic red split lentils have the added bonus of being chemical free.
