Description
En Inde, les lentilles rouges sont connues sous le nom de masoor dal. Essayez les lentilles rouges germées dans toutes les recettes qui nécessitent du masoor dal ! La plante est probablement originaire d'Inde et les lentilles font partie de l'alimentation humaine depuis le néolithique, étant l'une des premières cultures domestiquées au Proche-Orient.
Semez les graines de lentilles de fin avril à début mai, trois semaines avant la date du dernier gel. Les jeunes plants peuvent tolérer un gel léger. Les plants seront probablement plus courts s'ils sont semés plus tard, et les gousses mûriront plus tard et moins abondamment.
