Black Lentils
Black lentils (often called Beluga lentils for their caviar-like appearance) are a protein- and fiber-rich legume distinguished by their deep black hue from anthocyanin antioxidants. These small, glossy legumes cook faster than many beans while maintaining a firm texture, making them ideal for salads, grain bowls, and hearty soups. Their earthy flavor and ability to retain shape during cooking position them as a versatile plant-based protein source suitable for gluten-free and vegan diets.
