Beluga Lentils Organic

Small black lentils with a nutty bite

Beluga lentils are small, glossy lentils named after beluga caviar. They have an earthy, nutty flavor and retain their firm shape during cooking. These organic beluga lentils come from Canada and are SKAL-certified. Per 100 grams they contain more than 20 grams of protein and more than 15 grams of fiber, making them a valuable addition to a varied diet.

Cooking beluga lentils: 20 minutes, no soaking needed

Rinse the dried black lentils under cold water and cook them without soaking in plenty of water or broth. After 20–25 minutes they are done. Vegetable broth or a splash of red wine adds extra flavor. Drain them and mix warm with butter, coarse sea salt and black pepper.

Which dishes do you use beluga lentils in?

• Salads: a nice contrast with vegetables and pomegranate seeds.

• Soups: add texture without falling apart.

• Grain bowls: combine with quinoa, farro or millet.
