Product Description：Lentils (Vicia Lens or Lens culinaris) are an edible legume. Lentils are one of mankind's oldest legumes. Cultivation began in the Fertile Crescent during the Neolithic Age around 6000 BC, and it became an important food along with chickpeas and broad beans. Compared with other leguminous foods, lentils are rich in dietary fiber, folic acid, iron, and less lipids. It has become one of the staple foods in many countries in the world, especially in the South Asian subcontinent (Indian Peninsula).
It also appears in the Old Testament in the Book of Genesis, when Esau starved after a failed hunt and was said to have given up his eldest son's birthright to his younger brother Jacob in exchange for the chance to eat lentil stew. Additionally, lentils were found in an Egyptian tomb from the second millennium BC.
In ancient Rome, broad beans were favored and lentils avoided. The ancient Roman cookbook Apicius also lists lentils on the menu.
Today, it is an ingredient used in Indian, Italian and French cuisine, including curries, soups and stews.
Lentils are used in cooking around the world. Lentils are a staple in the cuisine of the Indian subcontinent, and the lentils known as "dhal" (usually with the husks removed) are often cooked into a thick curry, often served with rice or roti. Lentils are often used in stews and soups.
How to cook: Lentils are used in soups or cooked with vegetables.
It can be used as stuffing after steaming, and can also be used as an excellent coloring material when cooking dishes or making lettuce salads. It is rich in nucleic acids, which can give energy to cells and prevent aging. It can be purchased at Nanmen Market or Dihua Street .
Black (Puy) (left), green (center) and red (right) lentils
The word "lens" for lentils is of Classical Roman or Latin origin, possibly from a famous Roman family named Lentulus, just as the surname "Cicero" comes from chickpeas, Cicer arietinum or "Fabia" (as in Quintus Fabius Maximus) from Extracted from broad beans (Vicia faba).
Variety：Beluga: black, bead-like, lens-shaped, almost spherical, named for resemblance to beluga caviar. Called Indianhead in Canada.

Supply Season：Supply throughout the year
Storage Method：
#Should Be / Avoided：
The low content of easily digestible starch (5%) and the high content of slowly digestible starch make lentils potentially valuable for diabetics. The remaining 65% of starch is resistant starch classified as RS1. At least 10% of the starch in lentils cannot be digested and absorbed in the small intestine (hence the name "resistant starch"). After the lentils are cooked, additional resistant starch is synthesized from the gelatinized starch during the cooling process.

Cooking Skills：
Split red lentils (size 6 mm)
Lentils can be eaten soaked, germinated, fried, baked or boiled – the most common preparation method. The seeds require a cooking time of 10 to 40 minutes, depending on the variety; small varieties with the husk removed, such as the common red lentil, require shorter cooking times (and unlike most legumes don't require soaking). Most varieties have a distinctive, earthy flavor.
Lentils with husks remain whole with moderate cooking, while those without husks tend to disintegrate into a thick purée, which may enable various dishes. The composition of lentils leads to a high emulsifying capacity which can be even increased by dough fermentation in bread making.
Notes：Lentils also contain anti-nutritional factors such as trypsin inhibitors and a relatively high phytic acid content. Trypsin is an enzyme involved in digestion, and phytates reduce the bioavailability of dietary minerals. Prolonged soaking, fermentation or sprouting can reduce phytates. Cooking almost completely eliminates trypsin inhibitor activity; sprouting also has an effect.

Lentil Dishes
Lentils are used in many different dishes around the world. Lentil dishes are most common in South Asia, the Mediterranean region, West Asia and Latin America.
In the Indian subcontinent, Fiji, Mauritius, Singapore and the Caribbean, lentil curry is part of the daily diet and is eaten with rice and roti. Boiled lentils and lentil soup are used to thicken most vegetarian curries. They are also used as fillings for dal parathas and puri for breakfast or snacks. Lentils are also used in many regional sweet varieties. Lentil flour is used to prepare several different varieties of bread, such as papaya bread.
They are often mixed with rice, and the cooking times for both are similar. In Levantine countries, lentil and rice dishes are called mujaddara or mejadra. In Iran, rice and lentils are served with fried raisins; the dish is called adas polo. Rice and lentils are also cooked together to make khichdi, a popular dish in the Indian subcontinent (India and Pakistan); a similar dish made in Egypt, kushari, is considered one of the two national dishes.
In Europe and North and South America, lentils are used to make a cheap and nutritious soup, sometimes mixed with chicken or pork. In Western countries, cooked lentils are often used in salads. [3] In Italy, the traditional dish on New Year's Eve is Cotechino with lentils.
In Ethiopia, lentils are commonly eaten in a stew called kik or kik wot, which is one of the dishes that is eaten alongside Ethiopia's national dish, Injera flatbread. Yellow lentils are used to make a non-spicy stew, which is one of the first solid foods Ethiopians feed to their babies.
Lentils were a staple of the ancient Iranian diet, and they consumed them daily in the form of a stew, topped with rice.

Small lentils can be soaked, sprouted, fried, baked or cooked -this is the most common preparation method.

Most varieties have a unique soil flavor. The small lentils with shells are still complete after cooking, and those small lentils without shell are often broken down into thick mud and can be used to make various dishes. The ingredients of small lentils have high emulsification capabilities, and they can even improve their emulsification ability through the fermentation of the dough in bread.
