❓ FAQs – Organic French Green Lentils
Do I need to soak French green lentils?
Soaking is optional. A 2–4 hour soak can help reduce cooking time and may make them easier to digest, but you can also cook them from dry with a slightly longer simmer.
Can I cook these in a pressure cooker or Instant Pot?
Yes. After rinsing (and soaking if you prefer), cook on high pressure for about 10–15 minutes, then allow pressure to release naturally and check for tenderness.
Are these lentils suitable for vegans and vegetarians?
Absolutely. Our Organic French Green Lentils are 100% plant-based and contain no animal-derived ingredients. 🌱
Are they gluten free?
Lentils do not naturally contain gluten. However, because they are packed in a facility that also handles gluten-containing grains, there may be traces present. If you are highly sensitive or coeliac, please assess according to your own tolerance and medical advice.
How long do cooked lentils keep?
Once cooked, store lentils in an airtight container in the fridge and use within 3–4 days, or freeze in portions for up to a few months for easy future meals.
