Organic Black Lentils, 500g
Please select your product
Our black lentils are grown on the slopes above the Saar valley and are another fine lentil speciality. These small lentils have a black shine and a unique flavour. They have long conquered the hearts of our local chefs because they give off a nutty aroma when being cooked that is reminiscent of chestnuts.
They are often called ‘Beluga lentils’ and get this name from their resemblance to Beluga caviar. Like that luxury delicacy, our lentils have an exquisite taste.
Beluga lentils don’t necessarily need to be soaked. They do not disintegrate as easily as other lentil varieties when cooked but tend to retain their shape. That makes them perfect in salads or as a side dish. Cooking time: around 20 minutes.
The physician and botanist Hieronymus Bock (1498-1554), who lived in Hornbach and Saarbrücken, praised the lentils for their “softening effect on a hard stomach”.
Since most of the flavour comes from their skins, our lentils have a much more intensive taste than the anonymous mass- produced peeled varieties.
