Lentils, a staple in many global cuisines, are small legumes that undergo a meticulous manufacturing process to ensure they're safe and ready for consumption.

The manufacturing process includes the following steps: harvesting, cleaning, sorting, packaging, and finally, distributing. Each stage plays a crucial role in preserving the quality of the lentils. Factors affecting quality include farming practices, handling and storage conditions, and the processing method used.

There are several types of lentils available for bulk purchase, each with their own unique characteristics and uses. Here are some of the most popular varieties:

• Green Lentils – Known for their slightly peppery flavor and firm texture, ideal for salads and side dishes.
• Red Lentils – These lentils have a sweet, nutty flavor and soft texture, making them perfect for soups and purees.
• Black Lentils – Also known as beluga lentils, they have a rich, earthy flavor and hold their shape well, suitable for salads and stews.

When purchasing lentils in bulk, there are several factors to consider to ensure you're getting the best quality.

Always check for taste, appearance, and freshness. Opt for lentils with certifications like HACCP, ISO 22000, or FSSC 22000 to ensure safety and quality standards. Consider the lentils' origin as well, as this can impact flavor and quality. Other considerations include price, packaging, and the supplier's reputation.

Choosing the right supplier is crucial when buying lentils in bulk. The supplier should have a track record of reliability, quality, and ethical business practices.

• Look for suppliers with certifications like ISO 22000, HACCP, or FSSC 22000. These certifications ensure that the lentils have been produced, processed, and packaged according to international safety standards.
