Le Bon Semeur red organic lentils 500g

Red lentils or coral lentils are a shell-less lentil known for its pink salmon colour and fast cooking time. During cooking, its colour turns yellow-orange. This organic lentil is a solid choice for soups, soups and Indian dhal, where it adds a pleasant, slightly sweet taste. Coral lentils are a great source of fibre and iron, making them an excellent addition to a healthy diet. Trescarte's Le Bon Semeur red lentil is organically grown and is part of the company's range of high quality pulses. The lentils are selected and sorted with the same care as Trescarte's famous Lentilles vertes du Puy PDO. The peeled coral lentils are quick and easy to prepare - no pre-soaking is required and cooking time is only 10-15 minutes. Trescarte is a French family business founded in 1959. The company is headquartered in Loudes, Auvergne, from where it controls about 13% of the French pulse market. Trescarte is best known for its Lentilles vertes du Puy PDO lentils, but its range covers a wide variety of lentils and pulses. The company has invested heavily in modern technology and environmentally friendly production methods. The new plant has two sorting lines and seven packaging machines and employs around 30 people. Trescarte's production philosophy emphasises environmental responsibility: no water emissions, organic pest control in silos, composting of organic waste and dust recovery. The company sells its products under its own brands (La Ponote, Le Bon Semeur, Le Cygne) and as private label products for retail chains. Red mustard is a versatile raw material that is ideal for Indian cuisine. Use it in dhal soups, curry sauces, soups or as pakoras. It is also suitable for Mediterranean dishes, salads and vegetable Bolognese sauce. Coral lentils absorb spices well and are easily flavoured with cucumber, ginger, coriander and chilli. Because of its short cooking time and the ease with which it breaks down into a smooth paste, it is the perfect choice for smooth soups and sauces. Lentils are an excellent source of protein and fibre in a vegetarian diet.
