Laird Lentils
Premium, 100% traceable, Canadian-grown Green Lentils.
Lairds are easily the stars of the lentil family and are one of our most loved items!
First grown more than 20,000 years ago, these incredibly nutritious lentils are now the gold standard of all lentils. Canada, and in particular, Saskatchewan, is known for them! They are packed with essential nutrition. Did you know that gram for gram dried lentils have the same amount of protein, and more iron than lean steak? It's true!
Our Laird lentils come from Bob Wallace at Aldor Farms in southwestern Saskatchewan.
To cook, rinse 1 part lentils and cover with 3 parts water and bring to a boil. Simmer for 45-60 minutes or until soft. Pre-soaking the lentils in water for 4-6 hours will decrease the cooking time.
Laird Lentils are perfect for salads and soups. To keep our products at their best, store in a sealed container in a cool, dark place.
Our Philosophy
Food Creates Connection
Canada produces some of the worlds best grains and beans. The world markets know this and a majority of these crops are highly sought after for export to other countries. Canada's hard red spring wheat is especially renowned for producing exceptional results in bread baking and pasta making.
Canadian-grown crops are valued for their safety, quality and high performance. Flourist exists to connect consumers with this high quality product and tell the stories of the families growing it.
