Is this product suitable for a vegan or gluten‑free diet?

It is 100 % vegan because it contains only green lentils, but it is not gluten‑free; the label lists gluten as an allergen, indicating the presence of trace gluten.

How does the high protein and fiber content of green lentils affect blood‑sugar control for people with diabetes?

The 24 g of protein and 11 g of fiber per 100 g slow carbohydrate digestion, leading to a lower post‑meal glucose spike despite the 50 g of carbs, making it a relatively diabetes‑friendly plant protein source when portion‑controlled.

What is the best way to store unopened and opened bags of green lentils to preserve freshness?

Keep the sealed bag in a cool, dry pantry; once opened, transfer the lentils to an airtight container and store them away from moisture and heat to maintain flavor and prevent spoilage for several months.
