In 2019 a group of farmers grew these delicious and beautiful olive green lentils for us in Suffolk, Essex, Hertfordshire and Sussex. These whole lentils are simply superb for salads, stews, soups and more.
Tasty, versatile and easy to cook, whole lentils don't need to be soaked and add a rich, nutty flavour to soups, stews and salads.
Cooking instructions
Check for any stones, rinse, cover with fresh water, bring to the boil and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes (until tender). Or add directly to stews and casseroles, the lentils will cook with the other ingredients. Whole lentils retain their shape when cooked
