Small, shiny and black in appearance, Organic Black Beluga Lentils are are primarily cultivated in North America and Europe. The lentils are sown in the spring and are ready for harvest in the late summer or early autumn, depending on the specific growing region. Once mature, the lentils are carefully picked to preserve their delicate texture and flavour. They are then processed using traditional methods to maintain their natural composition and colour. The deep black hue of the lentils is a result of their rich anthocyanin content, which not only gives them their distinctive appearance but also provides powerful antioxidant properties.

As a natural raw product, organic Black Beluga Lentils are packed with essential nutrients, including protein, fibre, folate, and iron. They're also a good source of vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin B6, magnesium, and zinc, making them essential to a balanced diet.

The organic nature of means that it is grown and harvested without the use of synthetic pesticides or fertilisers, preserving its natural composition.

We believe in mindful consumption and want to share some insights on best before dates, especially when it comes to our dried foods. Best before dates indicate peak freshness and quality, not safety. Dried foods, such as grains and legumes, can often be safe and nutritious beyond their best before dates. They may lose a bit of their peak quality, but they remain a valuable and sustainable food source.

We encourage you to trust your senses. If stored properly and free from moisture, dried foods can maintain their safety and flavour for an extended period beyond the best before date. Embrace a less wasteful approach by exploring and using these ingredients even if they've passed their best before dates. Together, let's reduce food waste and maximise the full potential of every pantry staple.

Explore Waste Savers, where you'll find items approaching or past their best before date at reduced prices. Embrace conscious consumption, reduce food waste, and give these products a second chance. Your purchase not only saves you money but also contributes to a more sustainable and mindful approach to nourishment.

You’ll receive your Organic Black Beluga Lentils in a compostable kraft bag (unless you chose to get a compostable resealable pouch instead). These will be fine stored in the kraft bag for an extended time although, we recommend decanting and storing them in an airtight container to maintain optimum quality. Once decanted, you can save multiple bags and return them to us for a reward.
