Red split lentils, also known as Egyptian lentil or Masoor dal, are cheap, nutritous, delicious and very easy to make - no soaking required. They are the easiest to cook out of the lentil family, and as they are split naturally into two halves, they cook very quickly.

Lentils are edible seeds of the legume family. These are high in fibre, folate, potassium, iron and B1, and a great source of plant-based protein, including essential amino acids. 

How to cook: Rinse lentils, put in a pan with water and bring to the boil. The easiest way to cook them is to check on them as you cook, and stop at your desired texture. For estimates, simmer for around 15 minutes into a thick purée, or 25 minutes will give you a mush. Use them for soups and spicy Indian dhals. 

Example recipes:

Try this Red lentil curry from Rainbow plant life or this Red lentil dahl from Bianca Zapatka.

Or fancy a warming and nutritous soup, try this feel-good red lentil soup from frommybowl.

Top tips for cooking lentils:

A squeeze of lemon juice can brighten their earthy flavourf adding acidic ingredients, but aciic ingredients such as this should be added after cooking.

Salt should be added at the end of cooking, not during. 

Do not cook lentils in aluminium or cast iron pans, as these metals can inhibit the cooking and affect the colour and/or taste of the lentils.

High quality fine vegan cocoa powder, perfect for adding that chocolatey loveliness into baking and hot chocolate. Other ideas include adding them into into smooties for a richer, chocolatey taste, sprinkling onto fruit, and added into granola bars. 

Cocoa powder is made from cacao beans from the Cacao tree (Theobroma cacao). Cacao beans grow in within cacao pods that a variety of beautiful reds, yellows, greens and blues, which hang from the tree. Each pod contains 20-60 beans surrounded by the tart-sweet sticky cacao flesh, or 'fruit.' 

'Are cocoa powder and cacao powder the same?' we hear you say...

No they are not. Both raw cacao powder and cocoa powder originate from the same beans, however differences are in the taste, nutritional value and texture, all to do with how the cacao bean is processes. 

Cacao is lighter in colour, more fruity in flavour, and closer to its natural state than cocoa powder. 

Cocoa is darker in colour, and is more processed and refined than cacao, including an extra processing step of roasting at high temperatures, decreasing its nutritional value.

This organic maple syrup is a natural product which contains neither colourants, nor additives and which is made from sugar maple sap. Located in Quebec, Canada, the Erabliere Escuminac enjoys a unique climate and terroir. This centuries-old sugarwood, located less than 5 km from the sea, is swept by the salty air of the Atlantic Ocean, which brings a subtle saltiness to the syrups. At the start of the season, the syrup is generally clear and the taste is slightly sweet. As the season progresses, it becomes
darker and more caramelised.

The Maple syrup and Birch syrup have been selected as original ingredients by the gastronomic Chefs, pastry chefs and mixologists in Canada, USA and France.
- 100% natural
- Single origin (No Blend)
- Direct from the maple grove
- Mid-season Grade A harvest
