Lentils are nutritious and versatile They are rich in protein, high in dietary fiber, loaded with complex carbohydrates, and the most concentrated source of folate (Vitamin B9) of any food. Iron, B1, Calcium and other minerals are packed into this tasty little legume. Lentils also have a low glycemic index, averaging 29 to 30 per serving. And unlike their cousins the beans, these legumes cook in minutes, without soaking, and are perfectly suited for a wide variety of main dishes, soups, side dishes, and hot and cold salads. Lentils also make great sprouts for salads and sandwiches.

 

Our Timeless lentils are also sought after for what they don’t have! No cholesterol, no saturated fats, no trans fats. Very low in sodium. And Timeless lentils are traditional, if not heritage varieties and have never been genetically engineered.

 

Lentils originated in the Near East, and were one of the first crops domesticated for human consumption in Neolithic times. Although probably best known in Indian cuisine, lentils have long been a staple in the Mediterranean, southern Europe, and South America. Lentils are often featured as the center of the plate in vegetarian restaurants, and grace white table cloth restaurants around the world. Vegetarians value lentils for their protein. Diabetics appreciate their low glycemic index and chefs of all kinds welcome their economy, rapid preparation and versatility.

 

As delicious as they are for consumers, lentils are also nourishing for the soil. Legume farmers on America’s High Plains of the West value them for their ability to enrich the earth by naturally converting atmospheric nitrogen molecules into rich organic matter. Lentils are essential to successful crop rotations for our certified organic family farmers.
