Black Lentil

Black lentils, also known as Beluga lentils due to their resemblance to caviar, are small, shiny, and deep black in color. They are one of the most nutrient-dense lentil varieties and are prized for their firm texture, earthy flavor, and ability to hold shape after cooking. Black lentils are commonly used in gourmet cuisine, salads, soups, and side dishes. Due to their rich nutritional content and attractive appearance, they are favored by both industrial food processors and high-end culinary professionals. They are also a popular plant-based protein source in vegetarian and vegan diets.
