Nitra Green Lentils

About this item

Earthy lentils that hold their shape. Nitra Green Lentils are whole green lentils with an earthy, gently peppery taste, at home in Indian dals and Middle Eastern rice dishes.

Why cooks choose it

Unlike split red lentils, green lentils keep a firm texture and stay whole after cooking. That makes them ideal for salads and soups with body, for lentil curries with bite, and for mujadara with caramelised onions and rice.

What to cook with it

• Green lentil soup with cumin
• Green lentil tadka dal
• Mujadara
• Warm lentil salad

How to cook

No soaking needed. Rinse, then simmer 1 cup lentils in 3 cups water for 20 to 25 minutes until tender but whole. For salads, drain while still slightly firm and dress while warm.

Pack sizes

Available in 500 g and 1 kg packs.

Storage

Keep in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.
