About Beluga lentils
Beluga lentils, named for their resemblance to shiny caviar, are small black lentils prized for their rich flavor and firm texture. Native to the Mediterranean and Middle Eastern regions, these lentils are now enjoyed globally in a variety of dishes, from salads to soups and side dishes. Packed with plant-based protein, dietary fiber, and a range of vitamins and minerals such as iron, magnesium, and folate, beluga lentils are a nutritional powerhouse. They are low in fat, cholesterol-free, and maintain blood sugar levels due to their low glycemic index, making them ideal for heart health and sustained energy. Antioxidants in their dark pigment further support cellular health. Unlike some legumes, they cook quickly without requiring pre-soaking. However, those sensitive to legumes may experience mild digestive discomfort. Overall, beluga lentils are a versatile, wholesome addition to a balanced diet.
