I bought this mix on a whim, not expecting much. I used to think beans tasted more or less the same, didn't matter where you got them. I was so wrong, these beans are something else!
The lentils are amazing! They keep their shape very well, no bursting like with the grocery store brands. They have a rich texture that reminds me of ground beef. Perfect to help a beginner vegetarian like myself make the transition easier. Cooking these with a can of coconut milk is highly recommended.
The garbanzo beans are just as great. They take roughly a third less time to become soft than the store brand I was used to. The garbanzo beans have a much bigger inherent flavor than the lentils(obvious to chefs), so you are gonna need to season it well. I cook these with a vegetable bullion cube + cinnamon + chipotle powder. Delicious.
For the sprouters out there, the lentils sprouted after about 18hrs, the garbanzo beans took about 30hrs. They grow vigorously once they have sprouted, so keep a close eye on them.
As for negatives, I can think of one. The lentils require at least 2 good washes so you can get all the hidden dirt out. Seriously, wash them. I soak all my beans to lower the cooking time and phytic acid level (everyone should) and I was surprised by the amount of dirt that had accumulated on the bottom.
I will be buying these again. I have had family members compliment me on my new-found cooking skills. They don't know that that the only thing that has changed are the beans themselves.
