Our organic lentils come from Turkey.

We recommend soaking your lentils in plenty of hot water 3 to 4 hours before cooking, or even overnight. The warmer the water, the shorter the soaking time. For the cooking process, you can either use the soaking water or fresh water - just try out what works best for you here; add about double the amount of water to the saucepan and let the lentils simmer for 30 to 40 minutes. If you don't have time for the soaking process, the lentils will take about 60 minutes to be ready. However, how long the brown lentils should cook depends on how you plan to use the legumes; a shorter cooking time is recommended for a lentil salad or as a side dish with a bite. Tip: if you want your lentils to keep a firm texture, you should cook them with salt. If are always in a hurry and have no patience for brown lentils, try our red lentils, which are brown ones whose husk has been removed!

Unopened, and properly stored in a cool and dry place, our dry lentils keep for at least 2 years after packaging. If they have expired, there is no reason to blindly throw them away, as the best-before date, which only states until when the properties of a food such as taste, smell, colour, consistency, and nutritional value remain at least unchanged, should not be confused with the use-by date. We generally recommend a visual inspection and, if necessary, an odour and taste test before consumption.

Lentils are naturally gluten-free. However, cross-contamination can occur during the filling process, as our bottler also processes foods containing gluten, which is why we don't label our brown lentils gluten-free.

The basis for a healthy life is a balanced and wholesome diet paired with an active lifestyle. Being high in protein and fibre, brown lentils can certainly be a wonderful addition to a healthy diet. Proteins, for example, help maintain muscle mass and normal bones, and keep you feeling full and satisfied after a meal!

Keeping in mind that the cooking process varies depending on what you plan to do with the legume, brown lentils are incredibly versatile in the kitchen! A slightly firmer texture is recommended for side dishes and salads, for example. Our favourite lentil salad is a typical Arabic recipe, which rely on lemon, mint, and coriander for an incomparable freshness. Spreads and patties, on the other hand, turn out better if your lentils are softer. If you need inspiration, take a look at our Food journal section, where we collect delicious and tested recipes!
