Lentils are a fantastic source of plant-based protein and dietary fiber, making them a favorite in both vegetarian and vegan cuisine. Since brown lentils do not fall apart as easily as red lentils, they provide a wonderful texture and chewiness that elevates any dish.
Brown lentils generally do not need soaking before cooking. However, by rinsing them well and soaking them for a couple of hours beforehand, you can reduce the cooking time and make them even easier to digest. Remember to always add salt and acid (like lemon) right at the end of the cooking time, otherwise the lentils can become tough.

FAQ Ofte stilte spørsmål
Do the lentils need to be soaked before cooking?
No, brown lentils cook quickly and do not need to be soaked overnight. However, it is important that you rinse them very well in running cold water before cooking them.
