Essential organic Dark Speckled lentils (also known as Puy lentils) have a deliciously nutty and slightly peppery taste, perfect for vegetarian and vegan dishes including curries and salads. They are a natural source of iron, protein and fibre, and do not need soaking before use.

In season all year round the Essential organic brown lentil has a little more mild and earthy flavour than other lentils. They are a rich provider of protein and carbohydrates and are also a good source of calcium, phosphorus, iron and B vitamins. Ideal for warm salads, casseroles and stuffing as they tend to hold their shape after cooking.
