About French lentils
French lentils, also known as Lentilles du Puy, are small, greenish-brown legumes native to the Le Puy region in France. Renowned for their distinctive peppery flavor and firm texture, they hold their shape well during cooking, making them ideal for salads, soups, and side dishes in a variety of cuisines. Packed with nutrients, French lentils are an excellent source of plant-based protein, dietary fiber, and essential minerals such as iron, magnesium, and potassium. They are low in fat and contain complex carbohydrates, providing sustained energy. Their high fiber content supports digestion and heart health, while their protein promotes muscle maintenance and repair. French lentils are naturally gluten-free and suitable for vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free diets. However, those with specific dietary needs, such as low-carb diets, should monitor portions, as lentils have moderate carbohydrate levels. Their versatility and nutrient density make them a healthy kitchen staple.
