Deskripsi produk Brown lentils / Lentil coklat 250gr

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 and Green lentils,

although Puy and Yellow are stocked in many health and specialist shops.
