Frequently Asked Questions

Are red lentils cheap?+
We don't share direct pricing in product descriptions, but food service operators often choose bulk red lentils for their operational efficiency and versatility. The quick cook time and high yield help with food costing for dishes like soups and dals. Compared to other protein options, they're a strong ingredient choice for diverse menus.
Are red lentils expensive?+
Compared to other protein sources, especially in the 5kg bulk format we supply, red lentils help manage ingredient expenses in a professional kitchen. The quick prep time and plant-based protein mean chefs can integrate them into high-volume meal prep without extra labour costs. For large-scale catering or institutional food service, they're a pragmatic choice for managing food budgets, offering good yield per kilogram of dry product.
How do you use lentils in cooking?+
Our Canadian Red Lentils cook down to a smooth, creamy texture that works for a range of dishes. They're great for classic red lentil dal, hearty pureed lentil soups, or as a base for vegetarian mains like protein-packed veggie burgers. No pre-soaking required, and they cook in 15-20 minutes, which is a big time-saver for busy kitchens making large batches.
How do you use lentils from a can?+
Canned lentils are convenient, but our 5kg bulk Canadian Red Lentils give you more control over texture and seasoning, which professional kitchens usually prefer. Canned lentils are pre-cooked and ready-to-eat, while our dried red lentils are fresher and less processed. You can cook them to your exact specs for soups, stews, or scratch-made mujadara, often at a better operational yield.
How long does lentils stay good for?+
These Quality Red Lentils in 5kg bulk bags stay fresh longest in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. For professional settings with extended inventory, storing them in a freezer can significantly prolong their shelf life beyond typical pantry storage. Always check the 'best by' date on the original packaging.
How long does lentils take to soften?+
Our Quality Red Lentils are a quick-cooking variety that softens without pre-soaking. Expect them to reach a velvety-smooth texture in about 15-20 minutes of simmering after you add them to boiling water. That rapid prep time makes them practical for high-volume food service, letting you batch cook soups, creamy dals, or protein-rich purees without long lead times.
How to clean equipment after using Quality Red Lentils Quality Large / Canadian?+
Cleaning equipment after using dry lentils is straightforward. Since they're a natural, unprocessed product, a standard hot water and mild detergent wash usually does the job for pots, ladles, and serving utensils. Make sure any starchy residue is rinsed off, especially from puréeing equipment, to prevent cross-contamination and maintain hygiene standards per CFIA guidelines. Sanitize according to your kitchen's HACCP plan after cleaning.
What is the typical yield of Quality Red Lentils Quality Large / Canadian per case?+
A case contains two 5kg bags, totalling 10kg of dry lentils. When cooked, red lentils typically expand 2-3 times their dry volume and weight, so a single 5kg bag yields about 10-15kg of cooked product. This yield per case works well for large-batch production for catering events, institutional meals, or high-volume restaurant service.
What is the professional yield of a case of Quality Red Lentils at typical foodservice portions?+
A case has two 5kg bags, totalling 10kg of dry product. When cooked, these lentils expand to two or three times their dry volume, so you can expect roughly 20-30kg of cooked lentils per case. That's efficient for professional kitchens producing large quantities of soups, dals, or purees for extensive menus or catering events.
What is the recommended shelf life for Quality Red Lentils, both sealed and after opening?+
When sealed in their original packaging, Quality Red Lentils have a shelf life typically specified by the 'best by' date on the bag, generally a year or more in a cool, dry place. Once opened, transfer unused lentils to an airtight container to protect them from moisture and pests; they should stay fresh for several months. For professional operators, freezing can extend their usability significantly, making them a reliable long-term inventory item.
