Organic Green Lentils

Organic green lentils are edible legumes, a type of pulse. They are the seeds of the lentil plant (Lens culinaris) and are grown without synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or fertilizers, following organic farming standards.

Manufacturers use green lentils as a source of plant-based protein, dietary fiber, and complex carbohydrates. They add bulk and a hearty texture to dishes, commonly found in soups, stews, salads, and vegetarian entrees.

Green lentils are a whole food, not a food additive, and are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when consumed as part of a regular diet. They are a good source of fiber and plant-based protein, contributing to a balanced diet. No specific health controversies are associated with the consumption of green lentils.
