Alb-Leisa of the Beluga lentil variety in a 500g folding box: A small-seeded lentil variety with a deep black skin.
This Alb-Leisa variety has a delicate flavor reminiscent of roasted chestnuts. The prepared beluga lentils have a slightly creamy consistency.
Which lentils taste best? Whether these are truly beluga lentils is difficult to answer, in our opinion. Our experience shows that each type of lentil has its own fans, and of course, it ultimately depends on the cooked lentil dish itself!
The Beluga lentil, like all our Alb-Leisa varieties, is grown in the Swabian Alb and its foothills by the farmers of our organic producer association.
Soaking the lentils before cooking is not necessary. Boil them for 20-30 minutes in approximately twice the amount of water. Add salt only after cooking. Using a pressure cooker, the cooking time is halved.
