These Organic Canadian Puy Lentils are Certified Organic. This gourmet lentil is renowned for both its nutritional and culinary qualities. Puy Lentils are much smaller than other lentils such as Whole Red Lentils or Green Lentils, they have a dark colouring of black with mottled green. They are also high in iron (non-heme) and contain magnesium to aid in Calcium absorption and healthy nerve function. Remember that combining lentils with a grain like Rice or Amaranth gives you a complete protein mix. It is helpful to remember that sprouted lentils contain extra nutrients and are easier to digest due to their rich enzyme content. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, lentils have a neutral thermal nature and are beneficial to the heart, circulation, stimulate adrenal function and increase vitality of the kidneys. They are delicious and convenient in salads, lentil patties & soups.
It is not necessary to pre-soak Puy Lentils before cooking. However some people still choose to do so, to remove any remaining Saponin, a naturally occurring coating on seeds and pulses. We recommend storing in an airtight container in a cool dry place, away from direct sunlight.
