Lentils
Lentils are a year-round pantry staple, providing consistent quality across all seasons. As a dried pulse, they do not rely on a fresh harvest window for consumer availability. They are an excellent source of plant-based protein, fiber, and iron, making them a foundational ingredient in global cuisines.
