FAQ
Do brown lentils need soaking? No – lentils never need soaking. Rinse well, then boil and simmer until tender.
Brown or green? Brown are milder and softer; green lentils are firmer and more peppery, better suited to salads and sides. For a fast, creamy option, choose red split lentils.
Is there an organic version? Yes – see our organic brown lentils; this natural listing is the lower-priced option.
