Organic Green Lentils (Du Puy)
What is it?
These organic Du Puy green lentils are small, dark green lentils traditionally grown in France. They are known for their firm texture and refined, slightly peppery flavor. Compared to Laird lentils, Du Puy lentils are smaller, firmer, and more elegant in taste, while Laird lentils are larger, milder, and softer. Du Puy lentils also hold their shape better after cooking, making them especially suitable for salads and more refined dishes.
