Organic French Green Lentils – Premium & Nutty | SpiceBloom
Organic French Green Lentils
Speckled Canadian lentils with an earthy, nutty flavour and firm texture for salads, soups, stews and one-pot meals.
SpiceBloom Organic French Green Lentils retain their shape better than softer lentil varieties, giving cooked dishes a pleasantly firm bite. Their earthy flavour works especially well with herbs, roasted vegetables, vinaigrettes, tomatoes, garlic and warming spices.
Use them in warm or chilled salads, hearty soups, vegetable stews, curries, grain bowls and side dishes. They can be cooked without soaking, although a short soak may reduce the required simmering time.
Firm Lentils for Salads, Soups and Slow Simmering
Unlike red split lentils, French green lentils remain more defined after cooking, making them useful wherever texture matters.
Warm and Cold Salads
Combine cooked lentils with roasted vegetables, parsley, red onion, feta or a sharp vinaigrette.
Soups and Stews
Add to vegetable soups, tomato stews and casseroles for a hearty texture that remains pleasantly firm.
Grain Bowls and Sides
Pair with rice, quinoa, buckwheat, roasted vegetables or herbs for filling bowls and savoury side dishes.
🇨🇦 Certified Organic Lentils from Canada
