Westpoint Organic Soup Mix

Description This is a colourful selection of organic lentils and peas with brown rice. The peeled, dried yellow peas have been mechanically split to reduce cooking time. Lentils are the seed of a small shrub, popular in many countries worldwide. They have a mild, earthy flavour and a soft texture. Brown rice is whole rice with only the hull removed. Since the nutrient-dense bran and germ layers are left intact, very little nutrition value is lost in the milling process. Directions Rinse well. Add 1 part soup mix to 6 parts water. Bring to a boil for 10 minutes, then cover and simmer for 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Season with salt, soup base or vegetables. Uses Use this blend of organic lentils, peas, and rice as the primary ingredient of lentil soup or as a substitute in any lentil recipe. Ingredients Split peas: Yellow, green. Lentils: French, red. Brown rice. Storage Any mix containing brown rice is very susceptible to rancidity due to the presence of the bran. The product should be stored in a cool dry area. Optimum shelf life is 3 months.
