Product Description
These black, bead-like beauties are named for their resemblance to Beluga caviar, but in our opinion, they're a much better choice than fish eggs! Black lentils have a rich, nutty flavor, and many cooks consider them the best lentil around. They have thicker shells than most lentils, so they hold their shape when cooked instead of turning into a mush.
Our organic black lentils are a fantastic choice on the nutritional front, too. They're full of protein, fiber, calcium, iron, and potassium-plus, they're loaded with anthocyanins, a type of antioxidant in blue and dark purple foods.
We love our organic black lentils for their versatility; they hold their shape in cooking and in salads, but you can also puree them for a smooth, creamy consistency in soups, stews, dips, and pastes. They have a mild, earthy taste and easily absorb flavors from spices, herbs, and vinegars. Try heaping them over sweet potatoes and topping with sour cream, or add them to tacos, tex-mex casseroles, and burgers. You can even use them to make vegan brownies if you're feeling creative!
Cooking time for black lentils is a bit longer than some varieties, but still fast enough for a quick meal when you're pressed for time. Plan on around 30 minutes (40 if you prefer a mushier consistency).
Product meets or exceeds USDA guidelines. While we use the most modern equipment and standards when cleaning, processing, and packing this product, the contents of this bag are a natural product grown in the earth. It is not always possible to remove all foreign material. Please sort and rinse thoroughly before cooking.
Lentils are grown in rotation with wheat and or barley on the same farm ground. Since lentils and wheat are similar in size, trace amounts of wheat may be found in our lentils.
Azure Market products are re-packaged by Azure for your convenience in a facility that meets Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) standards, including an approved allergen control program.
Use 3 cups liquid (water, or stock of your choice) to 1 cup dry lentils. Be sure to use a large enough saucepan, as lentils will double or triple in size. Bring to a boil, cover tightly, reduce heat, and simmer until tender. Cooking time is typically 30-40 minutes.

I ❤️❤️❤️ love these lentils. They are my favorite lentil. I precooked a cup and put in smaller baggies for individual servings and freeze. So I can have handy. These are a dieter’s friend.
