I don't know how many bags I've bought of these now, well over 10 of the 10lb bags. For some reason the 10lb bag is the best price per pound. We're vegan so eat a lot of beans and legumes, and pink lentils are a staple for us. I make a lot of soup and dal, and these lentils are great quality, great flavor, and a good price. Very easy to buy in bulk on Amazon and always have on hand. I always pick through my beans and legumes before cooking (been doing that long before I ever bought these), and these are always very "clean" with not a lot of debris. Look, there *will* be an occasional twig, or rock in bulk food. That's just a fact of life. You have to live with and manage that if you buy food like this, but it's not a big deal! Over the years I've gotten a bag here or there -- of rice, or spices, or beans -- that was infested with insects. Yeah, it blows and is inconvenient, but I've always gotten a free replacement. That has never happened with this brand, and we buy a lot of their stuff (dried fruit, nuts, seeds, beans). Anyway, I just bought another 10lb bag and will continue to do so as long as the quality and price stay the same more or less. Highly recommend this brand.
I don't get anything for writing this review by the way. My pic is a curried lentil soup with homemade green chile and cumin flatbread -- yum!
