Hunza Organic French Lentils (2 lbs)

these lentils are so delicious. try sprouting them first. by soaking them in water overnight, rinsing them, and after you rinse them, put them in a large strainer, rinse them twice a day and let them drain, and when they get the smallest white tail, they're ready to eat which makes them more digestible and higher protein . refrigerate in an airtight baggie, or they will keep growing and growing

Great, healthy addtion to my diet.

Excited to try French lentils. I enjoy their firmness and flavor. Can be used as a healthy breakfast with BBQ sauce and cheese! Just make a large batch and reheat in microwave as desired.

Love these French lentils and they are more reasonably priced than a lot of other options.

My first bag of these French lentils some months ago was perfect and I readily ordered more. But my second bag contains a significant amount of some other pulse - it looks like split yellow peas, perhaps. This likely happened when they switched from bagging one item to another, and it's likely all edible, but it shows sloppy quality control and won't be suitable for all my recipes. They could do better.

These are excellent French lentils. If you need French lentils for any recipe, these are an excellent choice (and we should know: we are a family of vegans and eat mountains of lentils, not to mention the occasional hill of beans). These lentils arrived in a thick plastic bag, free of debris, and perfectly clean. I opened them to find lentils in a lovely mottled blue-green verdigris and otherwise uniform in shape and size (I immediately began chopping aromatics, cooked for thirty minutes and voilà, lunch). These French lentils held their shape, delivered a lovely texture and were delicious with a glass of Rodney Strong Chard (is that pairing wrong? Then, I don't want to be right). Five stars for Hunza Organic French Lentils.
