Product Description

Petite Golden Lentils (Lens Esculenta) are small, firm, golden Lentils that are rounder in shape than many other types of lentils. This is one of the reasons that this lentil holds its shape so well when cooked. Petite Golden Lentils are 1/2 cm wide with a mild, earthly flavor and soft texture. This tiny lens-shaped pulse (dried seed) has traditionally been used as a meat substitute. Lentils are the seeds of small shrubs and are dried after harvesting. They have been eaten for over 8,000 years and originated in southwestern Masa along the Indus River. The lentil is a staple food for many South Asian cultures. The Latin word for "Lentil" is "Lens", which was used in the 17th century to describe eye glasses because of the similarity in shape.
