Lentils absorb moisture easily, which increases the risk of mold growth during storage. Buyers must confirm moisture content specifications before placing orders, typically between 12 percent and 14 percent depending on the variety. Bulk lentils ship in 25 kg polypropylene bags, 50 kg woven sacks, or 500 kg to 1000 kg big bags for industrial processing. Sortex grading removes discolored seeds and foreign matter. Suppliers on Nutrada provide certificates of analysis covering splits percentage, insect damage, purity, and pesticide residue testing. Buyers sourcing for soup production or meal kits must verify that the supplier can meet delivery schedules aligned with seasonal production cycles.
EU Organic and USDA NOP certified lentils are available from Canada, France, and Turkey. Red and green varieties hold the deepest organic supply, while black beluga organic availability depends on Canadian crop cycles. Dual certification is common for suppliers exporting to both European and North American markets.
Lentils for retail brands are packaged in stand-up pouches, kraft paper bags, jars, and multi-compartment meal kits. MOQ for private label typically starts at 500 kg compared to 25 kg for bulk orders. Buyers must confirm label claim verification for protein content or organic status before production starts.
Lentil processors are concentrated in Canada, France, Turkey, and India, where suppliers operate dehulling, splitting, polishing, and color sorting equipment. Buyers must request third-party laboratory analysis for foreign matter, splits percentage, and pesticide residues before confirming orders. According to the FAO, global lentil production is concentrated in Canada and India, which together account for over 60 percent of supply.
Nutrada lists GFSI-certified lentil suppliers covering whole, split, and dehulled forms across conventional and organic supply. All orders are placed directly with certified suppliers, with no intermediary.
