Pages: 1 | 2 | (show all) Lentils and/or Chickpeas, but especially lentils       #143189 - 01/26/05 07:13 PM Edit Reply Quote Augie Reged: 10/27/04 Posts: 5807 Loc: Illinois I want to try and start incorporating lentils and/or chickpeas into my diet. For those of you who eat lentils, do you buy them canned or dry? If dry, do you soak them overnight? Are the Red lentils easier to digest? Or doesn't it matter what color they are? Can anyone recommend some brands? Thank you -------------------- ~ Beth Constipation, pain prodominent,cramps, spasms and bloat!

I've never noticed any difference in digestibility in the different colors... they all seem to work the same way. I only soak them first if the recipe calls for it, but usually it doesn't - lentils, and split peas as well, are pretty small and don't need presoaking. I tend to buy Goya or whatever's cheapest. Chickpeas - I almost always buy canned, just because it's easier. To be totally honest, dry chickpeas cooked taste a lot better to me, but they are work. They have to be soaked overnight, and then cooked for at least an hour. Canned is usually more practical for most people. Mmm, chickpeas. Now I'm thinking about hummus, yum.

The items are canned without salt or preservatives. They are organic and they are Kosher. They are pricey and not always easy to find...but the difference is worth it! You can also order items from their web site...in fact it might be cheaper to do it that way. Hope that helps!

I just don't know one lentil from the other. So I'm asking the eating experts. -------------------- ~ Beth Constipation, pain prodominent,cramps, spasms and bloat!

They are generally just beans and some water/cooking fluid. They do have things like baked beans and refried beans (these are new) with other seasonings. I like the plain ones because I need to watch my sodium intake...I think the black beans only have 5mg of sodium. I get flour tortillas, and bake them in a non-stick fluted pan (use some Pam spray). Bake them for 10 minutes at 350 degrees and you have instant tortilla bowl. I like to mix chicken, black beans, canned tomatoes and add that to the tortilla bowl. Yum...now I am craving some...maybe for tomorrows dinner? Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Pages: 1 | 2 | (show all)
