Green Lentils: A Global Staple for Health and Trade

Green Lentils: A Global Staple for Health and Trade

Through its network of group companies, American Harvest Group (AHGI) manages the international trade of high-quality specialty crops, including green lentils. This structure allows us to provide efficient sourcing, logistics, and distribution, ensuring that green lentils — one of today’s most in-demand pulses — reach customers across global markets.

What Makes Green Lentils Special?

Green lentils are widely recognized for their mild, earthy flavor and firm texture. They are highly valued in both retail food markets and industrial applications because they:

  • Retain their shape during cooking, making them perfect for salads, soups, and packaged foods.
  • Provide 18g of protein per cooked cup, making them a cornerstone of plant-based diets.
  • Are rich in fiber, iron, folate, and magnesium, supporting global health and nutrition goals.

Global Demand for Green Lentils

The lentil trade has grown significantly in recent years, with markets in North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia driving demand. Consumers are increasingly looking for:

  • Plant-based protein alternatives
  • Gluten-free and high-fiber foods
  • Sustainably grown pulses

Green lentils meet all of these needs, making them a key commodity in international food supply chains.
