Cooking Tips
🫘 Lentils
- Red lentils cook fastest (15 min) and break down into a creamy texture.
- Green and brown lentils hold their shape — best for salads and sides.
- No soaking needed for lentils, unlike most dried legumes.
Nutrition: Protein powerhouse with 18g per cup cooked. Extremely high in fiber and iron.
Storage: Dry lentils last 1-2 years. Cooked lentils keep 5 days refrigerated.
🥕 Carrots
- Roast carrots with honey and thyme for a caramelized side dish.
- Cut carrots on a diagonal for faster cooking and better presentation.
- Don't peel young carrots — just scrub them. The skin has nutrients.

Storage: Remove greens and store in the fridge for up to 3 weeks.
