Evergreen Organic Black Beluga Lentils are tiny, black round legumes. Like all legumes, this product is an excellent source of fibre, which is essential for a healthy digestive system. It is also an excellent source of plant sourced protein, which is very important particularly in vegan and vegetarian diets. Not only are they an excellent source of fibre and protein, they are also a source of many essential vitamins and minerals. With almost no fat, black beluga lentils make an excellent addition to any diet. Unlike many lentils which become mushy when cooking, the black beluga lentil retains its shape after cooking, it is ideal for dishes such as warm salads, casseroles and pilafs. This is a certified organic product with no additives or preservatives.
