Lentils are an important food source in many countries and are a staple ingredient in Indian and Middle Eastern diets. Every lentil you receive from us is a testament to our commitment to quality including that of our partner vendors and farmers. From cultivation to packaging, quality is our top priority. Our lentils undergo rigorous quality checks, ensuring they meet the highest food safety standards.
Red lentils, also known as masoor dal, come in orangish colour and are available both in whole and split varieties. They are mild in flavour and excellent for all kinds of cooking. At Pearl Imperial, we trade in both organic and non-GMO versions of red lentils and facilitate their shipments in bulk.
Green lentils range from pale green to a more speckled greyish green colour. They feature a glossy exterior and have a pleasant earthy flavour. As whole nutrition-packed lentils with their outer skin, they are a great addition to diets around the world. At Pearl Imperial, we supply premium-quality green lentils that are sourced directly from organic farms.
Lentils are low-growing sprawling plants that generate pea like flowers and mature into a large number of pods over time. Their sparsely branched vines grow approximately 18 to 24 inches tall. The lentils seeds inside the pods are harvested dry. The seeds undergo further processing that involves decortication, splitting, sorting and polishing of the whole or split seeds.
Cultivation of lentils is a water-wise choice as these plants require less water footprint and tolerate drought and climate changes better when compared to other crops. They can be easily grown in varied regions; whether hot or cold, wet or dry climates.
Our top-quality lentils are sourced from Canada, Australia, Russia and the USA. Our selection of red whole lentils come mainly from Canada, Australia and Russia while green whole lentils are procured from Canada and Russia.
