FAQ
Are dark speckled lentils the same as Puy lentils? They are the same style of lentil – only those grown in the Le Puy region of France can be sold under the Puy name. Ours are grown in Canada.
Do they need soaking? No – just rinse well and simmer until tender. They take a little longer than red split lentils but keep their bite.
Want the organic equivalent? Choose our organic dark green French style lentils – the certified organic version of this style.
Available in 500g, 1kg, 2kg and 3kg resealable pouches, plus a 25kg bulk sack for trade. (Some large sizes may have non-resealable packaging.)
