Shelled lentils

Lens culinaris it is a dicotyledonous plant of the Fabaceae family (or leguminous plants) called lentils, which is cultivated since ancient times. It is an annual plant, whose fruits are legumes that contain two round flattened edible seeds, rich in proteins and iron. Known as lentils with different varieties, they are particularly appreciated in Europe, even if global production is not high but constantly growing. Usually the foreign lentils imported by Di Nunzio come from Canada, from companies selected over the years. The shelled lentil undergoes a process of abrasion of the external cuticle to ensure that the product cooks sooner and is more digestible.
