Where I can I buy black lentils that isn't Whole Foods or Amazon?
I've checked Oaxaca Market, Tan A, and a couple other random international markets in the counties when I happened to be nearby, but no luck. No luck at Kroger/Aldi/Target/Lidl either.
Anyone know a place that sells them?
Haven't heard of this place yet. It's a little far but just called and they do have them in the bulk section. Thanks for suggesting!
Elwood Thompsons used to have them in bulk. Been a while though since ive been there.
Fair. They are close but I didn't remember a bulk section. I'll check sometime. Thanks for rec
It’s worth a trip. Best bulk bins in town, to me. Spices, beans, nuts, grains, dried fruit, etc. nice store. Like a kinder, gentler Ellwood.
Try an indian or middle eastern store store
I would have thought the same. I did try a couple, one random one nearby and one in Maryland when I was there. No luck.
Any you know of or recommend?
Edit: just got rec'd Laxmi and Royal Bazaar.
I got some at an Indian one a couple years ago, organic at that. I don't remember exactly which one but I'd guess based on my usual haunts it was Laxmi or Royal Bazaar
These are both relatively close. Hadn't heard of them yet tho. Will definitely visit. Thanks for suggesting!
FYI Elwoods has the same bulk bins
Groovy. Another user suggested but hadnt confirmed they still had. Deff will be checking it out
New Grand?
I wouldn't say they have the same, there's an overlap on some things but I have found things at each that the other doesn't have. Black lentils should be at either, I usually grab them from Good Foods.
Ellwood Thompsons bulk section has em
Why not Whole Foods?
They are priced at a shockingly high premium at Whole Foods and at that point I'd rather just order from Amazon since they're pretty much the same company anyway.
Perfect description.
If nothing else pans out for you, try Tuckahoe Seafood. I bought some there a while ago.
Royal Bazaar and Farmers Market behind 2nd & Charles on Broad St. Every type of lentil you can think of for dal.
I’ve got a soft spot for Laxmi Palace since I grew up growing there (I still remember back when there was a place next door that sold cheap bootleg Bollywood movies lol). But Royal Bazaar is massive and probably better for what you’re looking for. Seems like the kind of place that would have cheap bulk staples like lentils.
I bought some at Wegmans and also at Fresh Market
I buy them at Whole Foods or order them on Amazon.
This suggestion intrigues me on behalf of seafood!
$3.49/lb doesn’t seem particularly shocking
Is that what they are currently at the store? That is currently the price at Amazon, tho that does not include the $9.95 whole foods order fee. If that's something that gets waived with extra steps, cool. But right now, I'm interested in the local places, and not Amazon (which was always my back up)
But about that delivery charge tho
no delivery charge if you buy them in the store

Maybe in bulk bins at Good Foods Grocery?
