What Are Organic Green Lentils?

Organic green lentils should be one of the staples in your pantry as this legume is amazing. Lentils are tasty, low-calorie, easy to cook, and extremely nutritious. They are one of the best non-meat sources of iron and protein. Food To Live Organic Green Lentils allow you to enjoy all those benefits.

This legume needs little time to cook and can fit any dish. As they don’t have much of a taste on their own, organic green lentils go well with sauces and spices. They are also a common ingredient in gluten-free baking as lentil flour is highly nutritious and makes for a good wheat substitute.

There are three commonly used types of lentils. Red split lentils cook extremely fast but they are only fit for puree. Brown lentils are the most common and have a distinctive earthy flavor. Natural green lentils taste a bit more peppery and are perfect for salads. They also hold their shape quite well when cooked, so you can use them in a chili or stew.

Organic Green Lentils: Health Benefits

There are so many organic green lentils benefits that one might consider them a superfood among legumes. Of course, they don’t have the nutritional range needed to actually be a superfood. Due to their high fiber content and the fact that lentils are filling, they are good for weight management plans.

Athletes should enjoy organic green lentils regularly as they are full of protein. In fact, they are about 25% pure protein (18 grams per cup), which is easy for your body to process. Unlike protein from meat, lentils don’t get your lipids levels up.

Organic green lentils calories are comparable to other legumes. However, as they are a bit more nutritious, this food is better for the meal plan if you count your calories.

Organic Green Lentils: Nutrition Facts

Folate (90%) Copper Phosphorus Manganese

Note that in order to help your body absorb more iron, you should consume it with vitamin C. Therefore, cooking your organic green lentils with tomatoes and bell peppers is perfect. Enjoy your chilis, stews, and soups with those delicious ingredients.

Aside from those essential elements, a cup of cooked organic green lentils also gives you large amounts of zinc, vitamins B1 and B6, and potassium. The best news is that all those nutrients some will less than a gram of fat in a single serving and only 230 calories. Lentils also have a low glycemic index.

How to Cook Organic Green Lentils Fast

Rinse 1 cup of dried organic green lentils in cool water and drain them in a strainer. Put lentils in a saucepan and add 2 cups of water (the ratio is always 1 part of lentils and 2 parts of liquid). Add seasonings you want to ‘infuse’ your lentils with, except for salt. You can forego this step if you’ll use the legumes in some spicy stew or simply replace water with a flavorful broth. Bring the pot to a boil and quickly reduce to simmer (the lowest heat you can get). Cook for 20-30 minutes uncovered and stir rarely. If necessary, add more water/broth during the cooking process. Add the salt when lentils turn tender as it’ll make them ‘tougher’. Therefore, if added at the beginning, lentils will take longer to cook.

Taste your organic green lentils occasionally to determine if they are ready. And they are ready when they achieve the texture you need. If you plan to add them to a stew and cook more with a sauce, it might be best to undercook the legumes originally. However, it’s all a matter of personal tastes.

Store cooked natural green lentils in an airtight container in the fridge. They’ll keep for about a week.

Many Ways to Enjoy Natural Green Lentils

Organic green lentils are so amazing because they are extremely versatile. Their natural flavor is similar to green peas, but a bit milder. This legume is fast to cook and it goes great in salads, stews, soups, dips, and veggie burgers. You can use green lentils as a substitute in the majority of legume recipes. They are best when combined with chickpeas and cannellini beans.

Masala Lentils Recipe (Sabut Masoor)

¾ cup organic green lentils 2 cups water + 2 tablespoons water 6 cloves garlic (chopped) ½ cup onions (chopped) 2 teaspoons safflower oil 1 ½ tablespoons of any hot sauce (siracha works best) 1 ½ cups tomatoes (chopped) 2 teaspoons coriander (ground) 1 teaspoon sweet paprika ½ teaspoon cumin seeds (ground) ½ teaspoon cardamom (ground) ½ teaspoon cinnamon (ground) ½ teaspoon fenugreek leaves ¼ teaspoon black pepper 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg ¾ teaspoon salt

Rinse and drain organic green lentils before cooking them in 2 cups of water for about 25-30 minutes. In the meantime, sautee the onions in safflower oil. Pulse together garlic, hot sauce, spices, and 2 tablespoons of water in a blender. Add the spicy paste to onions and cook for about 2 minutes. Add salt and tomatoes to the pan and cook for 8 more minutes. Add your spicy tomato sauce to the lentils. Stir to combine, and serve while hot.

This delicious dinner is easy to make and it will impress your guests. The ingredients are very flavorful, but they all have a very low allergy risk. As the dish is also reasonably low in calories and gluten-free, it’s a perfect recipe for sensitive eaters. The best thing about it is flexibility, you can use your favorite spice mix to make the taste perfect for you. Natural green lentils ‘soak up’ flavors, so you can be sure they’ll go well with any spices.
