Lentils

Lentils are legumes and come in a range of colors, including brown, green, red, and black.

Store dried lentils in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to a year. Cooked lentils should be refrigerated in an airtight container and used within three to five days. For longer storage, freeze cooked lentils in an airtight container for up to three months.

Add lentils to ground beef to save money and add fiber.
