For the lentil lovers. Our best-selling Puy Lentils are a kitchen cupboard staple and Merchant Gourmet classic. Grown in Le Puy-en-Velay in France, our tasty lentils have a unique peppery flavour and retain their texture during cooking. They cook in just 25 minutes (no need to pre-soak) and are packed with plant-based protein and fibre, making them a great addition to salads, stews or casseroles.
We’ve spent the last 30 years scouring the globe to find the best plant-based ingredients and global cuisines. Our unrivalled knowledge and passion for pulses, grains, chestnuts, and mushroom means our pioneering products are the best out there. Learn more.

The real thing
I was pleased to find real Puy lentils for me to cook myself. They are no longer available in the two supermarkets I go to. They are nutritious, tasty and economical. They were well packed and delivered on time.

Great taste!
Healthy, filling alternative to meat. Easy to use and much cheaper than lentils which come ready to eat.
