About Cooked beluga lentils
Cooked Beluga lentils are small, black legumes named for their resemblance to caviar. They originate from Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines and are prized for their unique appearance and deliciously earthy flavor. Packed with nutrients, these lentils are an excellent source of plant-based protein, dietary fiber, iron, potassium, and folate, making them a great choice for vegetarians and vegans. Their low glycemic index can support blood sugar control, while the high fiber content promotes digestion and heart health. Unlike other legumes, Beluga lentils maintain their firm texture after cooking, making them versatile for salads, grain bowls, and warm dishes. They are naturally low in fat but should be paired with healthy ingredients, as some recipes may include high-fat sauces or extra sodium. Whether enjoyed alone or as part of a meal, cooked Beluga lentils offer a nutritious and flavorful option in any diet.
