French lentils of this quality are difficult to source locally. Very glad I tried this brand-Hunza, as every order has arrived promptly and in good condition. Priced well for this quality.

My wife and I are vegan, and we eat a lot of lentils (protein). These are similar to black lentils in that they hold their shape and don't readily become mush like some split lentils do. Further, they taste great. We add them to all kinds of things, including salads. I've also made lentil bolognese with them and it was delicious.

Excited to try French lentils. I enjoy their firmness and flavor. Can be used as a healthy breakfast with BBQ sauce and cheese! Just make a large batch and reheat in microwave as desired.

They cook to doneness in 45–60 minutes. We eat low-carb, but we do eat these a 3-5 times a week. Bread and bread like products are banned in our house :) These lentils and aduki beans are our bread substitute. They fill the carbs hole for us.No wheat for us! Yay for French lentils!

Nicely packaged- sturdy bag for storage. Tasted fresh, with a very simple instruction to cook. A good product!

Just like what I expect from these kind of lentils. I’m happy with the purchase.

Fresh quality and they don’t get mushy before they’ve cooked all the way through. A 5lb bag seemed like a lot of lentils but they’re working well in my recipes and I know we’ll use them up.
