It states in the header that it makes 6 wraps.
This many not be ideal but there is a website you can use to track nutritional value of the foods you eat. I have stage 4 kidney disease and use it to track everything I eat. If you click on report it will give you everything sodium, phosphorus, potassium, protein etc. It’s time consuming but worth it.
The website is https://www.nutritionvalue.org
I forgot to mention the website is free!!!

Do you have the nutritional information for this recipe to share? I count my macros and want to be able to balance my daily macros. As a suggestion, it would be very helpful to k ow the nutritional information for each recipe for so many of us that use our daily macros for meal planning. Thank you. Anne
I need Nutritional information to this recipe so I can make it as my kidneys need to know before I make this as I don’t eat anything unless I know what’s in the recipe
Thank you❤️
Excellent. Will make again.
Please add number of servings.
My concern is the rice. Is it safe to reheat that many times?
So good. Our new favorite plant-based burger recipe. A bit labor intensive, so plan ahead and make the lentils and rice beforehand.
How many servings are these recipes for?
This recipe says 6 patties, but it yielded 9 for me. One patty with a side salad was plenty filling for me.
6 servings seems wrong. Using 1/2 cup per patty, I got 9 patties. Also I live alone and would like infomration regarding freezing some patties after baking as can’t imagine eating 9 servings in a short time.
You can definitely freeze these, Marilyn.
Do you have the nutritional information for this
It would be great if you could include the calories or macros on your recipes as well.
Love Forks Over Knives recipes but why is everything measured in cups? Please consider giving the gram equivalent for those of us outside the US.
Why are my lentils always hard? They never fully soften . What am I doing wrong?
I usually rinse beans and let them soak in water previous to cooking them. The amount of time depends on the beans. I soak lentils in water for about 1 hour before cooking them. When I finally cook them, they are ready in 20 minutes. That might help.
Do you cook them along with other things? Purportedly, cooking with acidic ingredients or salt makes beans not soften. I’ve never personally experienced this but that’s what “they” say.
That said, it could also be the age of your lentils, if your store doesn’t sell/replace them often. Fresher dried beans always soften better; perhaps try a store that likely has better turnover? You could, alternately, try soaking them first. Lentils don’t typically need soaking but it would probably solve your problem. You’d have to watch them really well when cooking, though; they’d easily overcook if soaked.
Finally, not using enough water when cooking will mean all the water is absorbed before your lentils are fully softened. I’m assuming that since you said they “never” soften, you’ve already tried cooking for longer periods and it doesn’t result in further softening.
I can’t speak completely to regular cooking methods because I cook all my beans in a pressure cooker and can’t troubleshoot well with anything but that. If you want super-fresh lentils, I’ve recently ordered from Palouse Brand, and their lentils are incredibly fresh and cook up beautifully.
Haven’t, tried yet. But, it would be Gt. If you offered the equivalent for the spice powders (ie garlic powder etc) with fresh ingredient amounts.
