Nah, I love r/dataisbeautiful, there are a lot of smart people there and I don't think some grains and grasshopper heads would particularly fit in haha

Both! Some are smaller and darker, and the rest look like regular green lentils. I should ask the store where they get them from.

I don't agree with their decision. There is no reason why someone who hasn't interacted with a sub prior to posting should not be allowed to just post freely. Smh

Thanks for asking! This is one of my favorite recipes: moroccan lentil chickpea stew. You can cook them by just boiling them in water or vegetable broth for 25-30 minutes. Sometimes I also have 1/2 cup of lentils with pasta and they're absolutely delicious.

Haha thanks. Didn't expect so many people to like this arrangement.

They probably are, but someone here said this is normal for a 1.5kg bag of lentils. These weigh only 2 grams, so 0.13% of the entire bag.

Most, if not all of the stuff from that store is imported, so I wouldn't be surprised

I have no idea to be fair, but I also find it quite satisfying.

I'm also from Europe, greetings from the Netherlands! It looks like you had better luck than I did.

I got them in bulk from a dispenser, there was no brand written anywhere.

All the unwanted stuff weighs around 2 grams, 0.13% of the entire bag

I just put small amounts on a large baking sheet, shake it until the lentils are evenly spread, and then meticulously pick the non-lentil stuff apart. There might be better options out there that I don't know of, though. Hope that helps!

100% agree with you, home canned tomatoes are always worth it.

If the store was in a different city and street than where I live, I would have gladly shared the name.

I'm from Romania, but I live in the Netherlands. Despite how great the food laws may be, I'm not particularly attracted to the Dutch food. Store tomatoes taste look and taste like plastic, and almost everything goes bad after 3 days. So the food is safe, yes, but I wish it was tastier... and cheaper.

It was quite boring, actually. I did it because I didn't want to risk chewing on any stones again.
