May Harvest of the Month: Lentils!
Every month, KPS highlights a farm fresh fruit, vegetable, or grain in season
in Montana. Look for the Harvest of the Month on the lunch menu, in
cafeteria taste tests, and take home recipes.
May Harvest of the Month: Lentils
Could you guess that the lentil was one of the first crops cultivated by humans? Today, Montana is the top
producer of lentils in the United States, producing nearly 40% of the lentils grown in the United States on
140,000 acres. Lentils are available in many varieties such as red, French Green, and Black Beluga® so you
can eat a lentil rainbow! Like other legumes, lentils add nitrogen to the
soil, improving soil health. This makes them a good rotational crop with
wheat and other grains.
These little gems are healthy for human bodies too! They are an
excellent source of fiber and a good source of potassium, protein, iron,
and vitamin B6. Gram for gram, lentils provide more potassium than
bananas, more iron than ground beef, and have more antioxidants than
blueberries! Lentils are very versatile and can be added to soups, salads,
wraps, and even baked goods as a puree.
