Green Lentils

Firm texture. Earthy depth. Strong market pull.

Canadian green lentils are valued globally for their firm texture, earthy flavour, and ability to hold their shape when cooked — qualities that make them essential in salads, whole-grain prepared foods, and upscale retail formats. Two distinct size grades (Large Green and Small Green) allow buyers to specify for different end applications. Strong demand across the Middle East, Europe, and South Asia makes green lentils a consistent high-volume export product.
