Organic Red Split Lentils (Masoor Dal) – Quick-Cooking & Creamy | SpiceBloom
Organic Red Split Lentils
Quick-cooking Turkish red lentils with a mild flavour and creamy texture for dals, soups, curries and weeknight meals.
SpiceBloom Organic Red Split Lentils soften readily during cooking and naturally create a thick, creamy consistency. Their mild flavour absorbs spices, herbs and aromatic ingredients well, making them useful for traditional masoor dal as well as soups, stews and blended lentil dishes.
No soaking is required. Simply rinse, simmer and season. Serve with rice or flatbread, stir into vegetable soups, or cook with turmeric, cumin, coriander, garlic and ginger for a comforting pantry meal.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do red split lentils need to be soaked?
No. Rinse them thoroughly before cooking, then simmer directly in water, stock or your chosen sauce.
Why do red lentils become soft and creamy?
Red split lentils have had their outer coating removed and the lentil split in half, allowing them to soften and break down readily during cooking.
Are these red lentils gluten-free?
The only ingredient is red split lentils, which are naturally gluten-free. However, the product is packed in a facility handling gluten-containing cereals and may contain traces.
