French Green Lentils

French Green Lentils (also known as Puy lentils) are a gourmet variety hailing from the volcanic soil of France’s Puy region. These petite, greenish-brown lentils are beloved for their peppery, earthy, and nutty flavor with a subtle, slightly flinty finish. Known for their firm texture, French green lentils hold their shape well during cooking, making them ideal for hearty soups, salads, or as a side dish.

With their ability to maintain an al dente texture even after cooking, these lentils add an appealing crunch to salads and a savory depth to stews. They’re perfect for those seeking a nutritious yet satisfying alternative to beans. French green lentils are highly versatile and fit into many different global cuisines, including spicy Indian curries, Mediterranean dishes, and French-inspired meals.
