Serving Europe with Top-Quality Canadian Lentils and Pulses
Canadian lentils are widely used across Europe in both traditional cuisine and modern food manufacturing. In countries like France, Spain, Italy, and Germany, green lentils (Laird and Eston types) are popular in regional dishes and stews due to their firm texture, consistent size, and clean appearance. Meanwhile, red split lentils are essential in soups, purees, baby food, and convenience meals because of their quick cooking time and smooth consistency.
With the growing popularity of plant-based and vegetarian diets, Canadian lentils are increasingly featured in vegan recipes, salads, protein-rich snacks, and meat alternatives. Their reliable quality and adherence to EU food safety regulations make them a preferred choice for food processors, retailers, and private-label brands, especially in the organic and clean-label sectors.
European importers have clear quality expectations. They typically require a moisture content below 14%, minimal foreign matter and broken seeds, and uniform size and color. Each shipment must also be accompanied by a detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) to ensure full traceability and compliance with regulatory standards.

Canadian Pulses in Italy, Italy’s Rich Pulse Tradition Meets Canadian Quality
Pulses have been a cornerstone of Italian cuisine for centuries. From the hearty Zuppa di Lenticchie and Pasta e Ceci to classic Minestrone and regional specialties, legumes like green lentils, red and red split lentils, Kabuli chickpeas, Beans and peas are staples across Italian kitchens and food service. Whether simmered slowly in comforting soups or incorporated into fresh, healthy dishes, pulses remain central to Italy’s culinary identity.
However, modern Italian consumers and food producers demand more than tradition—they require consistent quality, reliable supply, and sustainably sourced ingredients. This is where Canadian pulses provide an excellent solution, offering superior quality and dependable availability to meet Italy’s growing needs.
Import Volumes and Key Ports
Italy is a major importer of Canadian lentils, chickpeas, and split peas, bringing in tens of thousands of tons annually to support its food industry.

Germany: A Modern Market for Canadian Lentils and Pulses
Germany is leading Europe’s shift toward sustainable, plant-based eating. With a growing demand for high-protein, environmentally friendly foods, Canadian lentils and pulses are gaining momentum across the country—from major cities to regional processing hubs.
Unlike markets driven purely by tradition, Germany’s food industry is shaped by innovation, health trends, and climate-conscious consumers. That’s why Canadian pulses—especially green lentils, red lentils, split red lentils, Kabuli chickpeas, and kidney beans—are becoming key ingredients in both traditional and modern German dishes.
A Plant-Based Movement Meets Canadian Supply
Germany has one of the fastest-growing vegan and vegetarian populations in Europe. Cities like Berlin, Hamburg, and Munich are hubs for plant-based innovation, with restaurants, retailers, and manufacturers constantly searching for reliable sources of high-quality pulses.
Tradition Meets Quality
France has a long-standing tradition of valuing terroir and quality ingredients in its cuisine, and Canadian lentils have found their place in this culinary landscape. While the French are famous for their native Lentilles du Puy, Canadian lentils offer an excellent alternative that delivers consistent size, appealing color, and reliable availability year-round.
Supplying Canadian Lentils to Spain – Trusted Partner for High-Quality Pulses
Spanish buyers rely on Canadian lentils for their compatibility with slow-cooked, flavor-rich stews—where lentils must stay intact without losing texture.
In Spain, dishes like lentejas con chorizo or potaje de lentejas are slow cooked for extended periods. Unlike many other markets, the texture during long cooking is critical. Canadian green lentils—especially Laird—are prized in Spain because they maintain structure and don’t break down, preserving the traditional look and mouthfeel Spanish consumers expect.
Most Canadian lentils enter Spain through major ports like Valencia, Barcelona, and Algeciras, with transit times averaging 3 to 4 weeks from East Coast Canadian ports or 8 to 10 weeks from Vancouver.
