 Still very good but different!Jul 27, 2010
I was ordering the red lentils because they were 'split' and I liked the consistency for certain recipes. I signed up for subscribe and save but now it seems the ones that arrive are red lentils, but not split. For the price I can just buy brown lentils at my local store and save money. However, the split red lentils were a great find! Did anyone else notice this?

Bob's Red Mill Red Lentils, 27-Ounce Units (Pack of 4)
I've enjoyed most of Bob Red Mill's products. His products are guaranteed nutritious, high quality,and very healthy. I'm a frequent buyer of his products, such as wheat gluten, lentils, whole wheat flour, etc...
If you've never tried his products, you should try some and you'll discover that his products are true to his philosophy.
Would definitely buy again and again.

Great hard-to-find product!Jun 07, 2010
Red lentils (Masoor Dal in an Indian grocery) can be hard to find outside of specialty stores, and Bob's are fresh, clean, and tasty. They make delicious soups with an earthy flavor and great texture. My favorite recipe is made in the slow cooker with onion, celery, tumeric, coriander, and cumin. It is so simple and easy but I can't stop eating it! They are also good cooked with rice as is common in the Middle East and India.
Some people seem confused about the desired consistency of red lentils. Unlike the brown or green lentils that most of us are used to, red lentils have had their husks removed. This is why they cook so quickly. This also means that THEY WILL NATURALLY DISINTIGRATE INTO A PUREE. If you don't like this "mushy" texture, then you should probably stick to lentils that still have their seed coats.
All lentils are a great health food with lots of vitamins and fiber and huge amounts of iron and protein, making them especially important for vegetarians. I would give Bob's 5 stars if they were organic. I'm also a little puzzled about 27 oz being chosen as a unit size. But you can't argue with super saver shipping!

Delicious if MushyApr 25, 2010
"Bob's Red Mill" is a name synonymous with healthy grains, and these red lentils are no exception. These are exceedingly tasty lentils that cook surprisingly quickly--too quickly, in fact. Definitely reduce your cooking times from other lentils you may have prepared, for the slightest overcooking of Bob's red lentils will break them down and turn them into mush.
Now, that mush is surprisingly tasty, and I wouldn't be surprised if you spiced them up and added some flour and eggs for structure and strength that you could turn them into delicious vegetarian patties for burgers. But if you like lentils with some toothsome feel and visible structure, then you might be happier with a different variety, or a different brand of red lentils than Bob's.
This 4-pack comes in a large box--be careful when cutting it open so as not to pierce the 4 inner bags.

Delicious AND nutritiousApr 07, 2010
Bob's Red Mill Red Lentils are delicious. They are very different from regular brown lentils, with a lighter, less earthy flavor. Red lentils do not require any soaking, just rinse. High in fiber, they are superb in soups and appealing to children as well as adults. I highly recommend an easy Moroccan type red lentil soup with lots of fresh lemon. Google for recipes. Or Simply chop one onion and saute quickly in olive oil, add plenty of chicken or vegetable broth, a can of diced tomatoes (or chopped fresh), perhaps some chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley and juice from several lemons (I make the entire lentil bag at once because the soup goes fast in my house). The soup cooks on the stovetop in only an hour or so. Warm and tasty in winter, light and citrusy enough for summer. Red lentils freeze well. Fabulous healthy vegetarian meal served with whole grain crusty bread. Comfort food at its best. Try them!
