Product Description
Petite Crimson (Lens Esculenta) is 1/2 cm wide with a mild, earthly flavor and soft texture. Crimson Lentils are crimson in colo,r which is a deep orange-red. 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. Lentils have been eaten for over 8,000 years and originated in Southwestern Asia 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.
