Beluga lentils, named for their resemblance to caviar, are small, jet-black lentils known for their rich, earthy flavour and firm texture.

To cook them, rinse the lentils and combine with water or broth in a pot, using a 1:2 ratio of lentils to liquid. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 20-25 minutes until tender but still holding their shape.

These lentils are perfect for salads, grain bowls, or as a side dish, adding a sophisticated touch and a boost of protein and fibre to your meals.
