Merchant Gourmet Puy Lentils & French Green Lentils

Merchant Gourmet is a prominent British brand focused on plant-based simplicity and Mediterranean-inspired wholesome foods. Their signature Puy Lentils are protected by an Appellation d'Origine Protégée (AOP), meaning they are specifically grown in the volcanic soils of the Le Puy-en-Velay region in France.

While the brand is deeply ingrained in the UK market, the raw ingredients are sourced and often processed or packaged near their origin in France to maintain the high protein and fiber content that the brand is known for. The brand has evolved from a small ingredient importer into a leader in the 'ready-to-eat' pulse category, currently owned by the diversified food distributor Leathams Ltd.
