Description
Part of the Nóstimo Italian Collection, these organic lentils are cooked and canned in nothing but water, so they are ready to eat the moment you open the can. The recipe is as short as it gets: organic lentils and water, with no added salt or sugar. Canned in Italy, they give you a tender, pre-cooked pulse to reach for whenever a meal needs bulking out in a hurry.
Drain and rinse the 240g of lentils and they go straight into the pan or bowl — no soaking, no long simmer. Stir them through a soup or minestrone, fold them into a salad with lemon and herbs, spoon them warm over rice, or blitz them into a dip or veggie patty. With 6.7g of fibre and 6.1g of protein per 100g, they earn a place in the weekly shop as a genuinely useful plant protein.
This product may contain gluten.
Store in a cool, dry place; once opened, transfer to a non-metallic container, refrigerate and use within 3 days. Net weight 400g ℮ (240g drained).
