Product Description
Ivory White Lentils (Lens Esculenta) are creamy, white-colored, small lentils. These lentils are peeled Black Lentils and are known as "Urid Dal" in India. In traditional South Indian cooking, White Lentils and rice are ground into a flour and used to make idlis and dosas. Ivory White Lentils are 1/2 cm wide with a mild, earthly flavor and soft texture. The tiny lens-shaped pulse (dried seed) has traditionally been used as a meat substitute. A Lentil is the seed of a small shrub and is dried after harvesting. Lentils have been eaten for over 8,000 years and originated in southwestern Asia along the Indus River. It is a staple food for many South Asian cultures.
