(3 pack) Great Value Lentils, 4 lb

This is an easy approach to eating healthy. They cook just like beans. Rinse, minimal soak, medium boil until tender--maybe a couple of hours. Add meat and veggies to create a stand alone dish. Ok, okay!! You got me... Serve with cornbread and links to enhance your experience.

Last year I bought Goya lentils in the same size package at a much higher price, the Great Value brand is the equal to it at a great savings to the customer. I let them soak overnight in a covered pan and then rinse in running water until the water is clear. Two advantages to this, the soaking helps tenderise them and reduces cooking time while removing any dust or debris from the harvesting or processing phase. They are fairly small in size, a dark brown when cooked and easily used in a variety of dishes. They can be processed into a dip like hummus or shaped into burgers with additional binders. Brown lentils have an earthy flavor, but not overpowering , while providing protein and fiber.
