Bambú (Living Sustainably) - Organic Brown Lentil

Brown lentils and other pulses are a great way of getting more protein and iron into your diet when choosing to have a vegetarian or vegan diet. They are great for reducing cholesterol and digestive upset. Brown lentils are often used as meat alternatives in vegetarian/ vegan dishes and are ideal in classic vegetarian versions of lasagne, bolognese, cottage pie, moussaka or salad. Presoaking is beneficial in reducing the cooking time, but it's not required, as it takes approximately 30-40 minutes to cook.
