Brined Lentils for Storage from Mexico
Brined lentils are leguminous vegetables preserved in a brine or sulfur solution solely to ensure their provisional preservation during transport or storage. In this state, they remain unsuitable for immediate consumption and require rinsing and cooking before eating, which aligns with the scope of heading 07.11.
