About Puy lentils

Puy Lentils, originating from Le Puy-en-Velay in France, are small, dark green lentils known for their firm texture and peppery flavor. Rich in plant-based protein, they are an excellent meat alternative, making them popular in vegetarian and vegan diets. Packed with essential nutrients, Puy Lentils are a great source of iron, folate, magnesium, and fiber, supporting overall digestive and cardiovascular health. They are also low in fat and have a low glycemic index, which helps maintain stable blood sugar levels. Unlike other lentil varieties, Puy Lentils retain their shape during cooking, making them ideal for salads, soups, and side dishes. Though highly nutritious, consuming lentils in moderation is important for individuals sensitive to legumes, as they may cause digestive discomfort due to their high fiber content. Puy Lentils offer a versatile, healthful addition to both traditional French cuisine and modern global dishes.
