Descripción
Las lentejas rojas se conocen como masoor dal en la India. ¡Pruebe las lentejas rojas germinadas en cualquier receta que requiera masoor dal! Es probable que la planta se haya originado en la India y las lentejas han formado parte de la dieta humana desde el Neolítico, siendo uno de los primeros cultivos domesticados en Oriente Próximo.
Siembre las semillas de lentejas a fines de abril o principios de mayo, tres semanas antes de la última helada. Las plantas jóvenes pueden tolerar heladas leves. Las plantas probablemente serán más pequeñas si se siembran más tarde y las vainas madurarán más tarde y de manera menos prolífica.
