Question 1

Do brown 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 brown lentils as gluten-free.

Question 2

Do brown lentils have a lot of protein?

Accepted Answer

Yes, our brown lentils have a high protein content, 21 g per 100 g. Protein contributes to the growth of muscle mass and to keeping you full and satisfied for long.

Question 3

What is special about KoRo's brown lentils?

Accepted Answer

Our brown plate lentils come from organic farming and do not contain any additives such as oil, colorants, flavorings or preservatives. Due to their high protein content, lentils are an excellent addition to a vegan or vegetarian diet. Because of its versatile processing possibilities, the small legume is also a must-have in many German kitchens: Fritters, bolognese, stews, soups, curries, salads or spreads are just a fraction of the dishes that can be prepared with brown lentils. But that's not all: Because we skip trade stages with our bulk packs and pass on the resulting price advantage to you, you also save money.

Question 4

Our brown organic lentils come from Kazakhstan.

Question 5

Question 6

Are the brown lentils vegan?

Accepted Answer

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

Question 7

How should I cook the brown plate lentils?

Accepted Answer

We recommend you soak the brown lentils in enough hot water 3 to 4 hours before cooking or overnight. The warmer the water, the shorter the soaking time. For the subsequent cooking process, you can either use the soaking water or fresh water - just try what works best for you here. Add about twice the amount of water to the pot and let the lentils simmer for 30 to 40 minutes. Without the soaking process, the lentils will take about 60 minutes. Exactly how long the brown lentils should cook depends on how you plan to use the legumes. For a lentil salad or as a side dish with a bite, a shorter cooking time is recommended accordingly. Also, in this case you can cook the lentils with salt, then they will be less soft. If this still takes too long, it is best to use our peeled red lentils, which do not require soaking.

Question 8

How many calories are in 100 g of brown lentils?

Accepted Answer

100 g of our brown lentils have 306 kcal and 43 g of carbohydrates. You can find the exact nutritional values of the brown lentils next to or below the product description and on the product packaging.

Question 9

Are brown lentils healthy?

Accepted Answer

Healthy is above all a balanced and wholesome diet. Brown 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 shelf life of organic lentils?

Accepted Answer

The brown lentils keep unopened for at least 2 years after packaging. The shelf life of brown 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.
