French Style Lentils | Hearty | Steady | Refined

Meet French-Style Lentils (often called Lentilles du Puy–style) — the small, slate-green lentils loved for their firm texture, earthy depth, and ability to hold their shape through long, luxurious cooking. These lentils are prized across French country kitchens for good reason: they stay intact, offer a subtle mineral richness, and deliver satisfying protein and fibre without heaviness.

Perfect for warm salads, slow braises, soups, casseroles, veggie bowls, and winter comfort meals, French-style lentils bring a rustic elegance to everyday cooking. Their naturally savoury character pairs beautifully with aromatics, herbs, stocks, roasted vegetables, and bold dressings.
