About Cooked puy lentils

Cooked Puy lentils are small, dark green lentils with blue speckling that originate from the Le Puy region of France, prized for their firm texture and earthy, peppery flavor. These lentils are often featured in French and Mediterranean cuisines and are commonly used in soups, salads, and side dishes. Nutritionally, Puy lentils are a powerhouse, rich in protein, dietary fiber, iron, and folate, making them a great choice for supporting muscle health, digestion, and overall energy levels. They are naturally low in fat and contain complex carbohydrates, which provide sustained energy. Unlike other lentils, Puy lentils maintain their shape when cooked, offering unique texture and versatility. They are gluten-free, making them suitable for various dietary needs. However, like other legumes, they contain moderate levels of phytic acid, which may inhibit nutrient absorption if consumed excessively without proper preparation or balancing with other nutrient-dense foods.
