Green lentils

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

Our imported green lentils come from Canada and stand out for their compact yet tender texture, allowing for even cooking without falling apart. Their thin skin cooks perfectly and does not become tough as it often does with other lentil varieties.

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