FAQ
Do red split lentils need soaking? No – just rinse well in cold water, then simmer for around 15-20 minutes until soft.
What is the difference between red split and red football lentils? Split lentils break down creamy; organic red football lentils are whole red lentils, so they hold their shape slightly more in the pan.
Should I buy organic or natural? They cook the same – this listing is certified organic, while our natural red split lentils are the lower-priced option.
