Czerwona soczewica
Description
Red lentils have an intense, warm orange-red color and a characteristic, slightly nutty flavor that becomes soft and creamy when cooked, often breaking down into a puree. Their texture adds smoothness and natural sweetness to dishes, making it easy to create velvety soups and spreads. They are a rich source of plant protein and fiber with low fat content, also providing folic acid, iron, potassium, and B vitamins. Regularly incorporating them into your diet supports digestion, feelings of fullness, blood sugar stabilization, and heart health. In the kitchen, they work well in soups, dals, curries, creamy purees, fillings for dumplings, veggie patties, and as a thickener for sauces; they pair well with spices such as cumin, coriander, ginger, and tomato. Store dry lentils in an airtight container in a cool, dark, and dry place, away from moisture and pests; if necessary, they can be stored in the refrigerator or freezer for a longer shelf life.
