Question 1

Do the yellow lentils contain gluten?

Accepted Answer

Lentils are naturally gluten-free. However, cross-contamination with gluten may occur during the bottling process, as our bottler also processes foods containing gluten. For this reason, we do not label our yellow lentils as gluten-free.

Question 2

How should I cook the yellow lentils?

Accepted Answer

Since they are already peeled, you do not need to soak the yellow lentils. However, we recommend rinsing the peeled legumes with hot water before cooking. Then add about twice the amount of fresh water to a pot and cook the yellow lentils in it until the desired consistency is reached. The cooking time of yellow lentils is usually 10 to 15 minutes. Since our yellow lentils are smaller pieces of lentils, the cooking time is less. Exactly how long the yellow lentils should cook depends on how you plan to use the legumes. For a lentil salad or as a side dish with bite, a shorter cooking time is recommended accordingly. In addition, you can cook the lentils in this case with salt, then they become less soft.

Question 3

Do yellow lentils have a lot of protein?

Accepted Answer

Yes, yellow lentils have a high protein content with 25 g per 100 g. Thus, the lentils can contribute to muscle building.

Question 4

What is special about KoRo's yellow lenses?

Accepted Answer

Our yellow lentils are true all-rounders! They are organically grown, lightly oiled and therefore particularly low in dust and beautifully shiny. Because they are split lentils, they cook in a flash and are extremely versatile – ideal for dals, curries, soups or salads. And best of all, they contain no artificial colours or flavours!

Question 5

What is the shelf life of the yellow lentils?

Accepted Answer

The yellow lentils keep unopened for at least 2 years after packaging. The shelf life of yellow lentils depends essentially on the correct storage - cool and dry. If the dried lentils have expired, this is not a reason to throw them away blindly. The best-before date (BBD) should not be confused with the use-by date. It simply indicates the minimum period until which the characteristics of a food product, such as taste, odor, color, consistency and nutritional value, remain unchanged. We always recommend a visual inspection and, if necessary, an odor and taste test before consumption.

Question 6

Are the yellow lentils vegan?

Accepted Answer

Yes, our yellow lentils are purely vegetable and therefore vegan. Except 100% yellow lentils literally nothing comes into our bag.

Question 7

What can I do with yellow lentils?

Accepted Answer

Dishes with yellow lentils are countless. Like all other lentil varieties, yellow lentils can be served as a side dish to enrich soups, stews, dals and curries. Like red lentils, yellow lentils lend themselves to a vegan bolognese sauce by adding texture and hearty flavor. Along with this, yellow lentils can be served cold as a lentil salad or bowl entree. Since our yellow lentils are small pieces of lentils, they can be processed especially well. Try frying yellow lentils or use our yellow lentils to make a spread aka hummus. There are no limits to your creativity. You can find inspiration on our recipe page.

Question 8

Are the yellow lentils organic?

Accepted Answer

Yes, our yellow lentils come from controlled organic cultivation.

Question 9

Are yellow lentils healthy?

Accepted Answer

Healthy is above all a balanced and wholesome diet. Yellow lentils can contribute to a healthy diet with a high protein and fiber content. Protein, for example, helps maintain muscle mass and normal bones.

Question 10

What is the alternative to yellow lenses?

Accepted Answer

If yellow lentils are too tart for you, or if you simply don't have any in your pantry, it's best to replace yellow lentils with sweet red lentils. Since both types of lentils are peeled lentils, they have very similar cooking properties. On the other hand, those who prefer a stronger flavor and more bite will find firm-cooking mountain lentils a good alternative to soft-cooking yellow lentils.

Question 11

What is the difference between yellow lentils and red lentils?

Accepted Answer

Both red and yellow lentils are peeled dark lentils, which we know as green lentils or mountain lentils. Unlike red lentils, which are sweet and mild tasting, yellow lentils are heartier in flavor. Thus, yellow lentils are a more tart side dish and enrich soups, salads and spreads with their fine nutty flavor. Unlike red l entils, yellow lentils also retain their beautiful yellow color when cooked.
