Food to Live Organic Whole Green Lentils, 5 Pounds - Non-GMO, Dried Raw Beans, Sproutable, Vegan, Kosher, High in Folate, Dietary Fiber, Protein, No Soaking Required, for Soups, and Veggie BurgersUSDA Organic

Among the legumes, I can only digest lentils. Therefore I tried many different types of lentils over the decades. These are the best so far. So meaty. Two parts water one part lentils and you get perfect soft but firm lentils that can be eaten in so many ways!

Very happy with this purchase: lentils are much cleaner than other brands I've purchased from local stores! No dust (who knows what that could be) or detritus. They are in good shape - not broken and without old crumbly discolored parts of lentils, rocks, etc. The bag is plastic and while I was concerned with it breaking during shipping, it was substantial enough and also has a good zip lock feature after opened. Can store in the bag, zipped - rather than have to pour into another container. 5 lbs is bigger than what stores generally carry, however, if you like cooking with lentils....you won't have to inventory many smaller bags. We made a great sausage and lentil stew with potatoes, carrots, and chipotle seasoning. Yum!

I EAT THEM DAYS IN A ROW! AT FIRST I WAS SPICING THEM WITH GARLIC PEPPER. WITH THAT THEY REMINDED ME OF SPICED BEEF I GOT IN A SPANISH RESTAURANT IN FLORIDA. THEN ONE DAY I FORGOT THE SPICE & DISCOVERED THEY TASTE MORE BEEFY THAN GREEN! NOT YOUR TYPICAL VEGGIE! I LOVE EM'! AND AGAIN, ORGANIC LINTILS, ORGANIC PINTO BEANS, & ORGANIC RED BEANS, I CAN'T BUY THEM ANYWHERE ELSE, SO THANK GOD FOR AMAZON! BUY THE ORGANIC PINTO BEANS, & ORGANIC RED BEANS & MIX THEM TOGETHER!

For all my grains and beans I look for ones that sprout, meaning the life within them hasn't been destroyed through processing, therefore the wonderful nutritional benefits are maintained. These lentils are great "sprouters" and other products (grains and beans) that I have used from this company sprout as well. This is a good one!

These lentils would be perfect for a first time sprouter. They are obviously very fresh because they sprout very quickly and are delicious. I sprout broccoli seeds too, but they are much more finicky - I wouldn't recommend them for a first time sprouter. The above photo is 1/2 cup of lentils sprouted for about 3 days.

I love lentils (green or red) and this brand is one of my favorite. I have reordered multiple times - the quality of the product has been always consistent, lentils are clean and taste good. Availability of different bulk sizes is a plus. Packaging is solid, no ripping even when I order big bags and they get thrown over the gate during delivery.

Sprouting & cooking

I was expecting a 25 lb. sack of lentils, but it was 2- 12 1/2 lb. plastic packages, which is more convenient to handle, and easy to see through and inspect the product. They look fine, but I haven't opened and eaten any of it, because I'm storing it for emergency food.

The zip lock bag is good..

I love this company, however I see their products are presently unavailable in Canada right now but hope they will reinstate that in the future. These beans are simply the best.

Love this product!. Cooks up quickly and is just right for a special diet I have to follow. Health is important to me and your product serves that well.

sprouted well

Another great product form Food to live. The lentils are clean and easy to cook.
