Organic Red Lentils
-
Red lentils hold a special place in Ayurvedic cuisine due to their light, easy-to-digest nature. Being tridoshic, i.e. balancing for Pitta, and Kapha doshas, and when properly spiced, for Vata. These lentils are rich in protein, fiber, and essential nutrients. Being neither too heating nor too cooling, they provide grounding and nourishment, especially during all seasons, supporting muscle health, digestion, and sustained energy levels.
