Green lentils

Green lentils are a nutrient-rich food ideal for preparing various substantial dishes.

Our imported green lentils come from Canada and are distinguished by their firm yet tender texture, allowing for even cooking without falling apart. The thin skin cooks perfectly and doesn't become tough as is usually the case.

Their uniform size, due to careful selection, always guarantees ideal cooking, making them a versatile ingredient to use in many dishes: vegetarian, soups, broths, and side dishes.
