Organic Madras Lentils

This is a USDA organic, shelf stable pouch of black lentils and red kidney beans in a lightly spiced tomato and cream sauce that heats in about 90 seconds. For a health minded shopper the real draws are honest legumes up front, roughly 5g of fiber and 6g of protein per serving, and no added sugar, since the few grams of sugar come from tomato and onion rather than a sweetener. The catch is that it leans on dairy for richness, with cream and butter putting saturated fat around 3g, and the sodium is high, so it reads more like a convenient side than a clean everyday base. If you want a real legume meal without cooking from scratch it earns a spot, just watch the salt.
