Description
Du Puy Lentils - 900 g
Du Puy lentils belong to the category of dried legumes and are characterized by their distinctive dark green color with fine marbled patterns. These lentils differ from common red or brown lentils by retaining their shape during cooking, which makes them particularly suitable for dishes where a firm texture is desired. They are widely used in French and Middle Eastern cuisine, but are also popular in modern plant-based cooking worldwide. The lentils are typically boiled in unsalted water for 20-30 minutes until tender but still firm in the middle. They are well-suited as a base for warm lentil soups, cold legume salads, hearty stews, and as an accompaniment to meat or vegetable dishes. The flavor is earthy and slightly nutty with a mild, pleasant depth that harmonizes well with spices such as cumin, thyme, and bay leaf. The texture is firm and slightly creamy inside, without the lentils falling apart during cooking. With a protein content of almost 25 g per 100 g, they are an excellent alternative to animal protein sources and are therefore popular among vegetarians and vegans. The carbohydrate content is 63 g per 100 g, while the fat content is very low at just 1.1 g, making them a nutrient-dense and low-fat ingredient. The energy content is 1,473 kJ corresponding to 352 kcal per 100 g. The salt content is minimal with only 0.02 g per 100 g, making them suitable for low-sodium diets. The product is supplied in a sealed 900 g bag that keeps the lentils dry and fresh until opening. Store in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight. Dried lentils are a practical and durable ingredient that is easy to keep in stock in the kitchen. These lentils are aimed at home cooks, health-conscious consumers, vegetarians, and anyone who wants a protein-rich and plant-based ingredient for daily cooking.
