Canned Lentils
Canned lentils are a convenient and nutritious legume that come pre-cooked and ready to use.

They possess an earthy, slightly nutty flavor with a soft yet slightly firm texture that holds up well in cooking. Lentils absorb the flavors of the dishes they are added to, making them versatile in a variety of recipes.
