Tip: Red Split Lentils

We have discovered Red Split Lentils here.  They are marvelous!

They are tiny and have gone undetected in homemade cheeseburgers and in taco meat here.  In fact, I am wondering if they might have an addictive effect because with these babies in the taco meat, my kids ate WAY more dinner than they usually do (which is, actually, pretty much nothing...my kids aren't dinner eaters).

In 1/3 cup or 61 grams of Red Split Lentils, you will find nine grams of fibre, and as a bonus...15 grams of protein and 25% of the Daily Recommended Value of iron.  A Red Split Lentil is like a little meal in itself!  LOL

If you need more fibre, try adding some Red Split Lentils to a recipe.  They hide easily if you need that feature, they are inexpensive and great for you! 

Leave me some comments and tell me what you've used Red Split Lentils in!  :)
