The Best For Your Health!

Add more variety to your organic cooking with our Bio-Leben range of products and create delicious meals for yourself and your loved ones.
Red lentils are smaller than other types of lentil, and are already peeled. By being peeled, red lentils don’t have to be soaked before cooking, and they soften more quickly during cooking.

Lentils provide healthy nutrition and are an absolute must for anyone leading a healthy lifestyle. They contain high levels of protein and carbohydrates, and have very low amounts of fat (2,1g). Their high protein content makes them highly recommendable for vegetarian or vegan nutrition.

Use our red lentils for delicious salads, spreads, side dishes, soups, vegetable and meat fillings and many other savoury, vegetarian (vegan) dishes. Red lentils are especially popular in Indian cuisine where they are used in a variety of ways.

Cooking Instructions:
Put the required amount of red lentils into plenty of water or vegetable stock and cook them for 40 minutes until the lentils are soft.
Note: Red lentils are a natural product. Actual cooking times and amounts of water may differ to those given here.

Our Recipe Tip:

Lentil Sugo!
Stir 100g red lentils into 250 ml boiling vegetable stock, cover the pan and let them cook for 20 minutes. Braise 1 chopped onion in Bio-Leben olive oil until the onion is glazed. Add 100g grated carrots. Pour in 500g tomato purée and add the cooked red lentils. Season with salt, thyme, basil, oregano and if preferred a little sugar. Simmer the ingredients on a low heat for 20 minutes. Stir in ½ teaspoon cinnamon. Finally, serve the lentil sugo on pasta (penne, for example), and sprinkle with freshly grated parmesan cheese. Enjoy your meal!
