Organic halved red lentils are a type of legume known for their rich, earthy flavor and soft, tender texture. They are an excellent source of protein, fiber and nutrients, making them a popular choice for vegetarians and vegans looking to add plant-based protein to their diet. Per 100 grams, red lentils contain 343 calories, have a low fat content and 10% fiber content - more than oat or spelt flakes. This results in a low glycemic index.
In addition to their flavor and nutritional profile, organic red lentils also have functional properties that make them suitable for food applications. Halved organic red lentils can be used to thicken and provide protein to soups and stews. They also serve as a base for curries, sauces, vegetarian and vegan dishes such as lentil burgers, lentil bread, dips and lentil-based spreads. Sprouted organic red lentils, halved in salads and sandwiches can be used as a side dish and they serve as a source of protein in bars and snack products.
The market for organic red lentils is growing as more consumers seek plant-based protein sources and sustainable farming practices. According to the World Bank, global demand for lentils has grown steadily over the past decade, with the majority of demand coming from developing countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America. A large number of B2B wholesalers, suppliers and producers of organic red lentils are from Canada, Turkey and India.
Most of the customers of B2B suppliers and producers of organic red lentils are companies in the food industry, but there are also some non-food applications. Organic red lentils can be used in cosmetics and skin care products as an exfoliant or as a natural coloring agent. In soaps, the legumes improve texture and color, serve as a source of protein in animal feed for poultry and livestock, and can be used as binders in industrial products such as adhesives, paper, and textiles.
