Lentils (Dried) is a large bag of dried lentils. It is a long keeping staple for soups, stews, rice and pasta. The lentils must be cooked into a dish before they can be eaten.

One bag holds a huge store of energy and protein. It never spoils, which makes it a strong supply for a long term base. Dried lentils sit on grocery and general store shelves, and they also turn up in hidden food caches. The Farmer is the best occupation for fruits and vegetables. It starts with the most Agriculture skill.

Eating

The lentils cannot be eaten straight from the bag. The item tooltip says they must be used in a recipe first.

The whole bag lowers hunger by 60 when cooked into dishes. It holds 3,000 calories, with 540 grams of carbohydrates and 220 grams of protein. That is enough to keep body weight up for a long time.

Compared with the dried beans, lentils sit in the middle for protein. Kidney Beans (Dried) hold 3,265 calories and 272 grams of protein. Black Beans (Dried) hold 3,084 calories and 199 grams of protein. All of them lower hunger by 60 per bag.

The table shows the game figures for one serving. Negative hunger and thirst fill the character up, and negative unhappiness and boredom cheer them up.

Cooking

Dried lentils add 10 hunger each to Soup, Stew, Rice and Pasta. A bag supplies many portions before it runs out. A pot of lentil soup with a vegetable or some meat makes a filling meal.

Lentils pair well with other long keeping foods such as rice and pasta. That makes them useful late in a run, when fresh food is scarce. The Cooking skill makes each ingredient go further.

These dishes take the Lentils (Dried) as an ingredient, with the hunger it restores in each.

Storage

The bag is packaged and keeps indefinitely. Its weight of 2.0 makes it better stored at a base than carried. A few bags are worth hoarding for the winter months.

Locations

Gigamart and grocery store shelves hold dried lentils about one time in five. General store shelves carry them a little less often. Hidden food caches hold them now and then in their food boxes. Grocery storage rooms, survivor cache counters and house kitchens and living rooms give a small chance. Cafeteria kitchens hold them rarely.

Notes

  • Lentils must go into a soup, stew, rice or pasta dish before they can be eaten.
  • One bag holds 3,000 calories, so a few bags feed a base for a long time.
  • A bag never spoils, so stock up for the late game.
  • Lentils carry more protein than black beans but less than kidney beans.
