Cooking red lentils: easy, fast and extremely tasty

Red lentils are the sprinters among lentils, since no other lentil variety is ready as fast. You don't have to soak them before cooking. Simply rinse them thoroughly and add them to a pot with twice the amount of water. Let cook for 15 to 20 minutes, the cooking time will depend on how mushy you enjoy your lentils. After you've found your preferred consistency, add a touch of salt and the spices of your liking – and your quick lentils are ready!

Lentil soups, stews and salads

You can use the lentils as a main dish - or you can use them as an ingredient in your recipe. We have plenty of inspiration for this: starting with the classic lentil soup, we also have mango and lentil dhal or lentil and quinoa salad in our Food Journal. The red legumes are also a great ingredient to make fritters, pancakes or even sweet porridge! Feel free to click through the many delicious recipes from the KoRo community under the 'Blog posts' tab and discover the next recipe that will not only inspire you, but your whole family.

Climate impact

At KoRo, we analyse the greenhouse gas emissions that are produced during the production of our snacks. These include, among other things, CO2, methane and nitrous oxide. Our hard-working sustainability team collects all the information to calculate a value: the so-called CO2 equivalents. We are now passing this information on to you so that you can make informed purchasing decisions and keep an eye on your personal carbon footprint. We also use these valuable findings ourselves, to try to make our supply chains even smarter in the future and monitor our CO2 footprint.

CO₂ emissions by product

To make the work of our sustainability team easier, we have teamed up with the company Cozero. They support us with their decarbonisation software to calculate the CO2 emissions of our products. Our products go through a lot before they make their way into your pantry or snack bowl, so there is a lot to take into consideration: production, packaging, and logistics – to name just the big steps.

CO₂ emission per product in comparison

Would you like to find out how well your favourite snack stacks up against other products in terms of carbon footprint? Say no more! To create comparability, we calculated the CO₂ emissions per 1 kg of our products and compared them with other products that end up on many people's plates every day, such as cheese, tofu, and many more. We also included coffee as a drink for comparison. So no matter if it is your favourite snack or your go-to kitchen product, you are now able to see exactly how it performs in our “CO₂ per kg of product” ranking.

Comparison of CO₂ emissions per product in kg

Disclaimer: Different methods (comparison products) - The CO2 emissions of the non-KoRo products come from a different data source. Therefore, there may be differences between their evaluation method and the evaluation of KoRo products.

Phytochemicals

The English language has once again come up with some gems: phytochemicals, phytonutrients, or plant metabolites. Probably an absolutely accurate description in biological terms, but what does that tell us? We shed some light on the subject and explain the group of phytochemicals in more detail.

Where do organic red lentils come from?

The country of origin of our red lentils is Turkey. In a field, the plant would probably not even catch your eye, because it is neither red, nor particularly conspicuous. The pure cultivation of lentils is quite risky, because the plants are not very stable and easily break down, especially during heavy rainfall during flowering and ripening. That is why they are usually grown in mixtures with cereals such as barley or oats.
