About LENTILS

The product contains only whole dried lentils, with no added salt, seasonings, or preservatives, making it a minimally processed pantry staple. Lentils belong to the legume family and are among the most nutritionally dense plant-based protein sources available. Per 100 grams of dry lentils, the product provides approximately 286 calories, 22.86 grams of protein, 65.71 grams of carbohydrates, 1.43 grams of fat, and an exceptional 20 grams of dietary fiber. The standard 35-gram serving size is typical for dry legumes before cooking; cooked lentils approximately double to triple in volume and weight upon hydration. Lentils are a significant source of folate, iron, manganese, and B vitamins. They rank low on the glycemic index due to resistant starch and fiber content.
