La Bio Idea Organic Lentils are a nutritional powerhouse, providing an excellent source of plant-based protein and dietary fiber, which are crucial for digestion and satiety.

Regular consumption of lentils helps stabilize blood sugar levels and lowers cholesterol. These legumes are a foundational ingredient in many healthy diets around the world.
Soft yet structured, they are ideal for a variety of savory dishes.
Prepared responsibly, they align with Larutan’s pantry values.
Typical Use:
To prepare lentils, they generally do not require pre-soaking, which makes them quick and easy to cook. Simply rinse them under cold water before use. Place one part lentils and three parts water or broth in a pot, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Green and brown lentils take about 20 to 30 minutes to become tender, while red lentils cook much faster, in about 15 minutes. Add salt towards the end of cooking to prevent the skins from toughening.
