Product Description
McKenzie's Red Split Lentils are high-quality, nutritious, and protein-rich legumes, perfect for a wide range of meals. These lentils are naturally low in fat, high in fiber, and an excellent plant-based protein source, making them a great choice for vegetarians, vegans, and health-conscious individuals.
Red split lentils are quick-cooking and have a mild, slightly sweet flavor. When cooked, they become soft and creamy, making them ideal for soups, stews, curries, and purees. Unlike whole lentils, split lentils do not retain their shape, making them perfect for dishes where a smooth, thick texture is desired.
