KRASNOGRADSKAYA 250 is a variety of light-green lentils of type II, characterized by a uniform green color with possible marbled seeds and a slight admixture of dark-green or discolored grains. The variety has a medium ripening period of 65–85 days from germination to the start of harvest, making it convenient for planning agricultural production.
This lentil is valued for its high taste qualities and rich protein content: 100 g of seeds contain about 20 g of protein, and the total energy contribution is 340–346 kcal. It is rich in essential amino acids – lysine, arginine, leucine – which makes the product particularly useful for athletes and people with increased protein needs. Moreover, the lentil is rich in fiber, iron, magnesium, calcium, and B vitamins.
Culinary-wise, it differs in a short cooking time: seeds quickly absorb water and become tender in 15–20 minutes, allowing their use in soups, salads, porridges, pies, and canned goods. Due to the high protein content and low fat level, lentils are often used as a meat substitute in diet dishes, including gluten-free, diabetic, and low-cholesterol diet schemes.
The 250 g packaging ensures convenient storage: store in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight; after opening – in a tightly closed container. The product may contain traces of gluten, nuts, soy, and sesame, so it is important to consider allergen information when preparing dishes.
