Organic Black Beluga Lentils, 500g

Renowned for their unique qualities, Beluga lentils by Markal native to Canada are often hailed as the “fine flower” of lentils. Their seeds are distinctively round, smooth, and shiny, earning them the nickname “vegetable caviar” due to their exquisite taste and naturally black hue.

Ingredients:
Organic black lentils

Usage Tips:
Before cooking, rinse the lentils thoroughly. Use a ratio of 1 part lentils to 3 parts unsalted, cold water to keep their texture tender, and cook them for about 20 minutes. These lentils are perfect for dishes with smoky flavors, such as charcuterie and pork, and are traditionally used in the classic French dish, petit salé. For a creative culinary twist, consider combining them with smoked salmon for an exceptional taste experience. Beluga lentils are not only delicious in soups, purées, and stews but also make vibrant, cold salads when served chilled.

Storage:
To maintain their freshness, store them in a cool, dry, and dark place.
