Beans, Lentils & Pulses

Beans are a healthy and affordable source of protein, fibre, iron, and vitamins. White beans are great for soups and stew, red and black beans for chilli. Chickpeas—which are indeed a pulse—are perfect for salads, hummus, or roasted for a tasty and healthy snack.

Soybeans have the highest protein content of any legume, followed by lentils. Going soy-free? Lentils are next, with 100 grams of lentils contain 26g of protein. Legumes also have a super high fibre content.

Lentils typically have a bit more vitamins and minerals than beans. We carry a variety to choose from for simple, delicious meals. Green and yellow lentils have an earthy flavour, perfect for stews and hummus-style dips. Red and yellow lentils are the star of many Indian curry dishes like daal. Next, try Puy Lentils, or French-style lentils, which pack enough bite to be added to salads. Split peas will be perfect for soups and hot stews.
