Puy lentils are grown in the volcanic, mineral-rich soil of the Auvergne region in southern central France. They are packed with heart-healthy iron, potassium, calcium, folate and magnesium (to name just a few), and are also chock-full of fiber and lean protein, which release a slow-burning energy that keeps you going all day long.
Their taste and texture set them apart too; they hold their shape beautifully after cooking and their nutty, earthy and vegetal flavor shine through in all kinds of cooking.
I love these lentils because they’re nutritionally dense and so, so delicious. I simmer 1c. Of lentils to 3c. Water and add 3/4c. Dehydrated veggies - carrots, potatoes, onions etc. wonderful sweet flavor! Add a little EVOO and garlic and it’s heaven. I mix them with pasta and marinara topped with Parmesan and with fava bean tofu and get perfectly full with nutritious, real food. I used to eat Rawseed Black Caviar lentils until I found these. They’re delicious lentils!
These are definitely worth 'MAIL ORDERING' -- you can't get them in any local stores here. Made a lentil stew (potatoes, tomatoes, carrots, onion, garlic and lots of spices) -- these lentils are totally wonderful -- my favorite of all lentils.
These are the best lentils I have ever had. I simply cook up a batch and season with salt pepper. They are so flavorful! The cooking instructions are on the box - basically a one to three ratio of lentils to water and they cook up in about 20 mins.
These lentils really are worth it, and as one reviewer said, there is a difference. We like these in the winter, cooked with some carrots, onion, Roma tomatoes, thyme and chicken apple sausages - and the taste makes you think you're in an old farmhouse in central France, near Le Puy (also known for its handmade lace).
I didn't think this lentil could live up to all the hype. After all, it's just a lentil. Boy...was I wrong. They're nutty, full of flavor and stay firm after cooking. They deserve all the hype. I'm a believer.
