Lentils are annual plants producing lens-shaped seeds. A cousin of the bean, the lentil belongs to the legume family, or those with seeds that grow within pods. Lentils are quite rich in iron and have the highest levels of protein of any vegetable next to soybeans. Once you know the right soil and climate conditions you can grow your own lentils.

Organic Brown Lentils Seeds
A famous variety of smallBrown lentils known for their earthy flavor. Masoor, also known as Puy lentils were originally grown in Puy, France in the volcanic soil there, but are now also grown in Italy and North America.

Planting suggestions: Sow in Spring. A cool season legume crop that finishes in the summer heat. Harvest when pods are rattling but before they crack open!

Cut or pull up plants and dry them on tarps for about a week to dry completely. Thresh and winnow.
