green & puy lentils

Find vegan recipes using green lentils, also known as puy or French lentils!

Green lentils are rich in antioxidants, iron, and magnesium. They work especially well tossed on salads or as a warm side, because of their peppery taste. Cooking time is about 45 minutes, and they hold their shape well.

Puy lentils are the original green lentil that are harvested in the French region of Le Puy. They have the same grey-greenish color, and are known for having the best texture and flavor of all lentil varieties.
