Originated in south-eastern Asia, yellow lentils soon spread throughout the Mediterranean region and Europe thanks to their attractive, soothing yellow color, slightly sweet flavor, and essential nutritional value. Our Organic Yellow Split Lentils are a great addition to curries, kichari, casseroles, stuffings, stews, and soups. They make for an excellent ingredient for vegan and vegetarian desserts as well. yellow lentils are often used in vegan versions of traditional Italian recipes like lasagna and spaghetti bolognese.
