Cooking Tips

๐Ÿซ˜ Lentils

  • Red lentils cook fastest (15 min) and break down into a creamy texture.
  • Green and brown lentils hold their shape โ€” best for salads and sides.
  • No soaking needed for lentils, unlike most dried legumes.

Nutrition: Protein powerhouse with 18g per cup cooked. Extremely high in fiber and iron.

Storage: Dry lentils last 1-2 years. Cooked lentils keep 5 days refrigerated.

๐Ÿ… Tomatoes

  • Store ripe tomatoes at room temperature for best flavor โ€” never in the fridge.
  • Add a pinch of sugar to tomato sauce to balance acidity.
  • Blanch in boiling water for 30 seconds to easily peel the skin.

Nutrition: Excellent source of lycopene, vitamin C, and potassium. One medium tomato has 22 calories.

Storage: Keep unripe tomatoes on the counter. Use ripe tomatoes within 5 days.
