Green Bliesgau Lentils, 500g
Please select your product
Lentils seem to thrive in the Saarland ‘terroir’ with its limestone and Bunter sandstone. Planted in combination with oats or camelina for support, our dark green lentils with their typical blue specks grow to become a flavourful delicacy.
The physician and botanist Hieronymus Bock (1498-1554), who lived in Hornbach and Saarbrücken, praised the lentils for their “softening effect on a hard stomach”.
Since most of the flavour comes from their skins, our Saarland lentils have a much more intense taste than the anonymous mass-produced peeled varieties.
Soaked overnight and cooked for about 25 minutes, they keep their shape and make superb salads or soups.
