Our organic green lentils are a nutritious and delicious addition to any meal. These lentils are grown using only organic farming methods, which means that they are free from synthetic pesticides and fertilisers. This ensures that the lentils are of the highest quality and free from any harmful chemicals.
Green lentils have a slightly earthy flavour and a tender, slightly crunchy texture. They are perfect for adding to soups, stews, and salads, or for making into a tasty lentil loaf. They are also a good source of plant-based protein and dietary fibre, making them a healthy choice for vegetarians and vegans.
In addition to their delicious taste and nutritional benefits, green lentils are also very versatile and easy to cook with. They hold their shape well when cooked, making them a great choice for adding to dishes where you want the lentils to hold their shape and not turn to mush.
