    FAQ

    Do red split lentils need soaking? No – just rinse well in cold water and simmer until soft, usually around 15-20 minutes.

    Red split, brown or green? Red split cooks fastest and turns creamy; brown lentils are the mild all-rounder that holds its shape; green lentils are firmer and more peppery for salads.

    Is there an organic version? Yes – our organic red split lentils carry organic certification; this natural listing is the lower-priced option.

    Available in 500g, 1kg, 2kg and 3kg resealable pouches, plus a 25kg bulk sack for trade and batch cooking.
