About Orange lentils
Orange lentils, also known as red lentils, are small, vibrant legumes commonly used in South Asian, Middle Eastern, and Mediterranean cuisine. With a mild, slightly sweet flavor and soft texture when cooked, they are an excellent ingredient in soups, stews, curries, and purees. A fantastic source of plant-based protein, they are also rich in essential nutrients like fiber, iron, folate, and B vitamins, making them heart-healthy and supportive of digestion and energy production. These lentils cook quickly and are naturally low in fat, an ideal choice for balanced diets. However, like most legumes, they contain natural compounds called lectins that may cause digestive issues in sensitive individuals if consumed in excess. Versatile and nutritious, orange lentils are a staple in vegetarian and vegan diets, offering a wholesome way to enjoy flavorful, nutrient-packed meals.
