Great Value Red Lentils, 1 lb

I use red lentils frequently, cooking them with dried vegetables and white rice for a one dish complete meal. They are done in 15-20 minutes and provide a good nutritional profile when combined with a grain. No soaking required, just rinse well and add water plus any seasonings. The flavor is milder than the brown and green lentils, less of that earthy flavor they have. Texture is good and the color is a golden yellow when cooked. If you are plant based or just want a meatless meal, it is an affordable option and a healthy choice. You can alternate grains with quinoa, buckwheat or millet, all cook in the same 15-20 minute time.
