The lentil plant (Lens Culinaris) originates from Asia and North Africa and is one of our oldest sources of food. A cousin to the pea and a rich provider of protein and carbohydrates the lentil is also a good source of calcium, phosphorus, iron and B vitamins – making it an important diet staple the world over.
There are several different varieties – most commonly used in cooking are brown, red, green, puy and yellow.
How to prepare lentils
Lentils do not require it but can be soaked in order to reduce cooking time by about half.
Before cooking, rinse lentils in cold water, pick over to remove debris or shrivelled lentils, then drain.
Boil lentils in three times the volume of water and avoid cooking with anything acidic – such as vinegar.
Lentils will vary in their cooking times depending on their variety and age, so always check the packet.
As a rough guide to cooking times:
Green and brown lentils: 35-45 minutes
Red split lentils: 15-20 minutes
Puy lentils: 25-30 minutes
Yellow lentils: 40-45 minutes
How does it work?
1. Choose your product. Most products are sold in multiples of 100g or less. So for example, if you would like 500g of rice, choose 100g x 5 etc.
2. In keeping with our zero waste ethos, your product will be packaged in a glass jar where possible. This jar is post consumer and has been cleaned and sterilised for reuse. Please return the jar to your Neighbour Food drop off point where it will be collected for further use.
