Le Bon Semeur Du Puy Green Lentils, France - 500G

Du Puy green lentils, 500g. Le Bon Semeur. Small, dark green lentils from the Le Puy region, with a peppery, mineral taste. They hold their shape in the pot. Check the pack for the AOP or PDO mark. A French kitchen makes salade de lentilles and petit salé, or serves them next to fish, duck, or lamb. A hotel uses them in a soup or a stew when the plate needs a starch that is not potato. They also work in a vegetarian dish, a dal, or a grain bowl. The 500g pack is a retail size, so a restaurant can open one bag and a home cook can too. Keep it cool and dry, and reseal it so moisture and pests stay out. Don't boil them until they burst.Key Features Authentic French Lentilles Vertes du Puy (AOP/PDO) Small, dark green, peppery-mineral flavour The premium tier of European lentils The only lentils in Europe with PDO designation Hold their shape exceptionally well during cooking 500G pack — household and gourmet retail size From Le Bon Semeur — French specialty ingredient brand Applications French lentil salad — the iconic salade de lentilles Petit salé aux lentilles — French lentils with cured pork Lentil soups and stews — fine dining versions Lentils as a fine dining starch alternative — with fish, duck, lamb Vegetarian and vegan plant-protein dishes Indian dal preparations (premium tier) Mediterranean grain bowls and salads Product Specifications Brand: Le Bon Semeur Origin: France (Le Puy region; verify AOP/PDO designation on pack) Net Weight: 500G Format: Du Puy green lentils — AOP-protected French specialty Storage: Cool, dry place; reseal after opening to prevent moisture and pests
