Product Overview

The Health Store’s range of Organic Lentils are an essential part of any vegan’s cupboard. Lentils are nutrition-rich but low in calories so are filling and packed full of goodness. 

Versatile and easy to cook, these Organic Lentils will absorb the other flavours they’re cooked with. Enjoy them in a spicy curry, a tomato and herb “lentilese” (a great vegan answer to bolognese), or as the base of a vegan burger. 

Alternatively, sprout your Organic Lentils by soaking them overnight for a crunchy and refreshing taste that’s delicious in a salad.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a good lentil recipe?

We recommend making a “lentilese”. It’s like a bolognese with lentils instead of mince (and a healthier option than many vegan mince substitutes). Roughly chop a large brown onion and 4 cloves of garlic and fry in olive oil, and a pinch of salt, until golden. Lower heat on the saucepan. Add 100g of lentils (any variety will work) and coat them in oil. 

Add one tin of chopped tomatoes, then fill the empty tin with water and add the water into the saucepan. Stir in a tablespoon of tomato puree and a teaspoon of dried oregano. Bring to the boil, then lower heat and allow to simmer until the lentils are soft. Salt and pepper to taste.
