French Green Lentils have a deep green color with a mild, earthly flavor. Because of their origin in the rich volcanic soil of the Puy region of France, they are also known as Puy lentils. French green lentils are high in fiber and protein, with a strong peppery flavor and firm texture. They hold their shape during cooking, which makes them a great ingredient in winter soups, stews, as well as in Middle Eastern cuisine.
