They make a great addition to soup, stews, or salads. Cultivated using age-old farming methods in the French Alps at 2,000 feet above sea level and harvested in November when lentil pods are still young, our green lentils (French green lentils) boast a sweet yet earthy taste. Their color is not as intense as that of the brown lentils we grow nearby (brown or Puy lentils), but they have a taste all their own. Ferrero Couscous Medium Grain is perfect for soup. Lentils are a staple of the vegetable world and are known for their nutritional value - low in fat and high in fiber, protein, minerals and B vitamins.
