Über Linsen:


  • one of the oldest agricultural plants of mankind
  • widespread among all cultures
  • The different lentil types show a big diversity in taste:  creamy mild or savoury, tender or more crunchy in mouthfeel
  • many types have hulled and unhulled varieties
  • hulled types are faster in cooking and easier to digest, but less stable when cooked and weaker in taste

Interesting for:

  • vegan and vegetarian diet meat substitute due to high protein content
  • soups, stews, burgers, salads, canned food, lentil flours for bakery, pasta and drinks
