What it is

Red lentil flour is made from dried red lentils that have been ground into a fine powder. Red lentils are a type of legume, known for their quick cooking time and mild flavor. The flour retains many of the nutritional benefits of whole lentils.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use red lentil flour as a source of plant-based protein and fiber, often in gluten-free products. It can also act as a binder and thickener in baked goods, pasta, and snack foods, contributing to texture and structure.

Health notes

Red lentil flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of protein, fiber, and various micronutrients. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated lentils and their components, but specific evaluations for red lentil flour may vary. At typical consumption levels, it is considered a nutritious food ingredient.

Allergen info

Red lentil flour is not derived from one of the nine FDA major allergens. It is naturally gluten-free.
