 Vegan Organic Kosher ChoiceJan 11, 2009
By vegancompassion
"anattanupassana"
Vegan. Organic. Kosher parve. Fat Free. High protein. Beautiful small & very tender lentils in their own pre-cooked 'gravy.' Can just heat and serve. Great with organic brown or white rice. Easy 'dal' for any Indian meal. Add diced or chunky veggies to make your own creation. Made with organic lentils and sea salt only. 300 calories, 0g fat, and 24g protein per can. Labeled "vegetarian," but is vegan also. Also really like Westbrae Natural Vegetarian Organic Soup Beans, 15 Ounce Cans (Pack of 12), Westbrae Natural Vegetarian Organic Chili Beans, 15 Ounce Cans (Pack of 12), and Westbrae Natural Vegetarian Organic Salad Beans, 15 Ounce Cans (Pack of 12). This review is out there for those for whom this makes a difference. See all of my reviews for more great choices. Check out "Vegan Grocery Favorites" and "Vegan Grocery Top Ten" in Listmania. Your "helpful" votes count and will be greatly appreciated to benefit the search of others. Thank you.

These are very good when you don't have time to make fresh lentils. Our grocery store doesn't carry precooked lentils so these are very convenient.

The lentils make a GREAT base for quick, nutricious, and inexpensive homemade meals!Jan 27, 2010
By Shopper
I have been buying these lentils at my local grocery store for a long while now, but was delighted to find them on Amazon for so much less, no taxes and free to my door delivery!
Now, why lentils, and why these particular lentils?
1) Lentils are high in protein, vit B1, iron, and fiber!
2) Lentils are low in fat, and are also low on the glycemic index!
3) Lentils are a great base for many dishes: within 20 minutes you can have a tasty homemade dinner. Here is my favourite (start the clock): put on some basmati rice. In a separate pot, steam a large chopped onion for a few minutes. Add one can of lentils (always with the liquid!). Add dried garlic bits, chili powder, ginger powder, curry powder, all to taste. Stew for a few minutes. Add garam masala (a spice that can be purchased in most grocery stores) and cook for another few minutes. Serve over the basmati rice. There! Stop the clock! This should not have taken more then 20 minutes. Makes two servings (unless you are very hungry). This can be also prepared using oil (you'd fry the onion, instead of steaming it). The taste of the dish can be manipulated by using other spices (turmeric, cumin, etc.) and adding other vegetables (peas, tomatoes, cauliflower, etc.). You can also try adding some sliced almonds and a few raisins. You can prepare this a day ahead and take to work with you for an inexpensive, but tasty and healthy work lunch! The cost of the meal, including rice and the entire can of lentils, comes to less then four dollars (or thereabout).
4) These lentils are organic, vegetarian, and kosher, for those who are interested.
PS: Do not be put off by the "funny" look of the lentil liquid once you have opened the can. It is supposed to look like this. DO NOT drain the lentils!
Enjoy!

 Raised price by $6????Mar 16, 2011
By One-Boston-Chick
These are great (with salt added) but a price increase of $6/case in - 3 weeks? Not worth it. Wait until they lower the prices again.

Hill of BeansNov 02, 2010

Westbrae Natural's Organic Lentils are delicious and versatile. They're hearty in many dishes. Lentils are a staple in Indian and African cuisine. One can make Nepalese dal (The World in your Kitchen: Vegetarian recipes from Africa, Asia and Latin America for Western kitchens), a vegetarian form of bobotie, the signature South African dish (South Africa), and Somali lentil stew (The Soul of a New Cuisine: A Discovery of the Foods and Flavors of Africa) One can also make a Moroccan lentil soup with raisins (Vegetarian Times (1-year auto-renewal)) There's more to lentils than the typical humble lentil soup. Beans are an important staple in a vegetarian/vegan diet, especially if you've tired of meat substitutes like Gardein, tofu, tempeh, Tofurky, and seitan. They're delicious and nutritious!
