Description
Small, flavourful and wonderfully versatile, Organic French (Puy) Lentils are a fantastic store cupboard staple for hearty, nutritious cooking. Known for their distinctive green-grey colour, delicate peppery flavour and firm texture, they hold their shape beautifully when cooked rather than becoming mushy.
French lentils are particularly delicious in warm salads, soups and stews, or served alongside roasted vegetables. They also make a wonderful base for grain bowls and plant-based meals, and are a great way to add extra texture and substance to everyday cooking.
Unlike some dried pulses, Puy-style lentils don’t usually require soaking before cooking, making them a convenient choice when you’re looking for a nutritious meal without too much preparation.
