Description
Small, dense green lentils hold their shape for salads and more.
Heart green lentils famous as a side dish, in stews, soups, and even salads. West Coast-grown for our own unique terroir. These lentils are very similar to lentilles du Puy, which must be grown in France. We think our West Coast terroir adds to the flavor.

YES! These wonderful lentils are noticeably better than any others I've had in my 6 decades on this planet. Going to order a few more bags pronto!
I've made the mistake of using other varieties of green lentils in my favorite soups and salads, and the others all lack flavor and have gritty textures. These are perfectly firm, slightly nutty, and tasty enough to eaton their own!
First time buying RG beans and very happy! Tried this with the RG French Leek Lentil Soup recipe from the site and it was delicious. The lentil beans you buy from the regular store tend to be bigger....not sure but this size seemed to work better with the water ratio. All the chopping of veggies was worth it. Will be in my regular rotation!
I cooked these with what I had: your Mexican oregano, onion, diced tomatoes, garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, and a little handful of rice. Savory, delicious, quick. You could have a pot of soup in about the time it takes to order bad (or good) takeout and get it home. Will make these a pantry staple.
My favorite way to use these lentils is in Nigel Slater’s lentil bolognese (the recipe is on Serious Eats) but they are just as delightful simply stewed with tomatoes. Very flavorful without being too earthy, just delicious.
