Black Lentils | Caviar or Beluga Lentils | 4 lbs | Non-GMO | Kosher | Vegan | Non-Irradiated

Tasty little lentils. Ready in 5 minutes pressure cooked in the instant pot with your favorite spices.

These lentils taste amazing – rich, earthy flavor and they keep their shape after cooking. Perfect for soups, curries, or salads. Great source of plant-based protein and fiber.

These lentils sprouted beautifully for me and also cook up beautifully - garden variety store lentils can't really be compared as the brown lentils kind of go to mush, not that this is always a bad thing - India chefs prize red lentils for just that quality. But Caviar lentils can be cooked and still be a little toothsome, in a very nice way. As a practical matter, I will still often turn to the everyday brown or several varietals from my local Indian market, but it's nice to have the option with these to really elevate certain dishes. Wonderful cooked and then added to salads!

These Black Beluga Lentils are simply wonderful! Not only are they incredibly tasty with a rich, nutty flavor, but they’re also a breeze to prepare. I love that they cook in just 20 minutes without any need for soaking, making them a quick and convenient addition to any meal. Whether I’m adding them to soups, salads, or casseroles, they always hold their shape and add a delicious depth of flavor. The nutritional value is impressive too, with a generous amount of protein, fiber, and essential minerals in every serving. I also appreciate the sustainable packaging – the linen drawstring bags are a nice touch and reflect the quality of the product. Knowing these lentils are non-GMO, vegan, and sourced from a trusted farm in Montana makes me feel great about adding them to my pantry. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a healthy and delicious staple!

Fortunately, Amazon's shipping carton was tightly sealed. The paper bag containing Grown in Montana Black Beluga Lentils was torn along the bag's bottom seam. At least half the lentils had exited the bag, but were in the shipping carton.. After I removed all the lentils from the carton and weighed the contents, it appears some may have been lost when the bag was packed in the carton. Purchased weight was 4 lbs. Actual weight was 3 lbs. 10 oz. I've already cooked two cups (dried) and they are excellent. I do recommend following the recommended washing, at a minimum. I washed several times until the water was clear. These are not duPuy French lentils, although they make for a far less costly substitute. I definitely will buy grown in Montana black lentils again, but from a branding that uses sturdier packaging.
