LENTILS
Lentils: Nutrient-Rich and Globally Sought After
At Tusketh Global, we specialize in sourcing and exporting high-quality lentils from the agricultural heartlands of Canada and the USA. Rich in fiber, minerals, proteins, and vitamins, lentils are a cornerstone of healthy diets worldwide. The fiber in lentils helps lower cholesterol levels and reduces the risk of heart disease while also stabilizing blood glucose levels, making them an excellent choice for those managing diabetes or hyperglycemia.
​
Iron, a vital mineral found in lentils, plays a crucial role in transporting oxygen throughout the body, boosting energy levels and metabolism. Lentils are classified into two main categories: Red Lentils and Lentils other than red, distinguished by their seed coat color.

Laird No 1
Large (6.0 – 7.0 mm) lentils with a green skin and yellow cotyledon. Laird lentils are highly favored in Europe and Latin America for their rich flavor and versatile texture, making them ideal for a variety of culinary applications.
Laird No 2
Similar to Laird No 1, these large lentils (6.0 – 7.0 mm) also feature a green skin and yellow cotyledon. Known for their consistent quality, they are a staple in many international markets.
Richlea
Medium-sized (5.5 – 6.0 mm) lentils with a green skin and yellow cotyledon. Richlea lentils are perfect for soups and have a neutral flavor that pairs well with a wide range of ingredients.
Eston
Small (4.5 – 5.5 mm) lentils with a green skin and yellow cotyledon. Eston lentils are low in starch and color, making them ideal for clear soups and salads, where they add texture without overpowering other flavors.
Crimson
Crimson Lentils (Lens Esculenta) are whole red lentils with the skin removed, resulting in a polished, reddish-orange product. High in protein and quick to cook, they are a popular choice for health-conscious consumers and cooks looking for efficiency in the kitchen.
Split Red
Split red lentils are produced by splitting whole red lentils, removing the skin, and dividing the seed into two halves. These lentils cook faster than others, making them ideal for purées and soups where a smooth, creamy texture is desired.
