They hold their shape well and have a great texture, whether I'm making soups, stews, salads, or even lentil burgers. I love that they're packed in a convenient 12 oz size, and this 4-pack offers great value for the price. They're high in protein, fiber, and iron, making them a healthy addition to any meal. They cook evenly and don't require pre soaking, which makes meal prep quick and easy. The flavor is mild and earthy, perfect for a wide variety of recipes. If you're looking for nutritious and affordable these lentils are a great choice.

These lentils are a solid choice for anyone who cooks at home regularly. They cook evenly and hold their shape well, making them great for soups, curries, and salads. I like the mild, earthy flavor because it absorbs spices nicely. They’re affordable and a good source of protein, which is a big plus for meatless meals. On the downside, they do require rinsing and sorting before cooking, as I occasionally found small debris. They also take longer to prepare compared to canned lentils. Still, the quality is consistent, and the texture turns out great every time. Overall, they’re a dependable pantry staple worth keeping on hand.

Normal food item nice flavor

I have been making a large batch of lentil soup weekly for work off and on for the past year. This has been my go to brand given cost and amount needed to build my soup. Overall, I have been very pleased with the flavor and size of lentils. I will say you should always rinse your lentils in a strainer before adding to your cookpot and check for any small stones that didn't get filtered out from machine processing. I've only had a couple of bags where there were a couple that I didn't catch. I've yet to get bored of my recipe and find the soup to be very filling and satisfying. The fiber content is off the chart and lots of protein too. Even higher than other lentils. They are a lean option, so I add (cut into very small pieces with kitchen shears) about 4 oz of my favorite bacon that is rendered down to add flavor (thick cut cherrywood has been my favorite bacon so far). After rendering the bacon, add a couple of cups of very small cut carrot and celery, render further for 10 minutes or so and add your lentils with appropriate amount of chicken bouillon (I use Knorr - about a teaspoon per cup of water - four cups to start and after that continue adding water as your bouillon already has plenty of salt). Add some bay leaves and a small amount of cumin. You can add a small touch of cayenne (delicious) and the last 10 minutes or so - about a 1/4 cup of your choice of fresh cut parsley. Curly is fine or regular. Really just a very healthy and delicious option that is very filling and can be kept fresh all week when stored in a sealed container in the refrigerator for lunches or however you wish. I have also frozen batches. Whole lentils hold up in freezer better than beans which tend to burst due to expansion and become more broken down. I'm much happier with the result of whole lentils (not split lentils) keeping well in freezer. I was turned onto lentils when looking at ways of keeping grocery bill more modest while maintaining good nutrition and wondered where they had been all my life. Of course, lentils have been around for a long time and are a staple of many diets outside the U.S. before starting to catch on here. It was really just my ignorance at not having tried them before. If you haven't tried lentils, I would highly encourage you to try a few recipes out. Masoor Dal (red lentils) are also very delicious - they have skins removed, therefore naturally split so watch the cook time as they won't take as long to cook as whole lentils and can have a bit more of a porridge texture. When seasoned properly, both are delicious and they can stand out on their own.

Good product if not open. I buy frequently and bag is sometimes open. Always cook well good nutritious tasty product

Perfect! I was worried buying lentils online, but I liked these better than the ones I've found in the store!

I just made a yummy lentil soup, I’m very happy with these dried lentils! They cook up nicely and have a great texture—tender but not mushy. They’re perfect for soups, stews, or adding to salads for extra protein and fiber. I also appreciate that they store well in the pantry and are an affordable, healthy staple to keep on hand. Overall, great quality lentils that taste fresh and cook evenly. Highly recommend!
