FAQ
Do green lentils need soaking? No – lentils never need soaking, just a good rinse before simmering.
Green, brown or French style? Green are firmer and more peppery than brown lentils; for a lentil that stays fully intact, try dark speckled lentils, our French-style option.
Is there an organic version? Yes – see our organic green lentils; this natural listing is the lower-priced option.
