Green lentils, also named 'du Puy lentils' and 'caviar lentils', are considered to be the finest and most delicate lentils in the world of pulses.
They are small in size and their colour is a special combination of green, blue and grey, sparkling together. They received the name 'caviar lentils' because of their extraordinary taste and fine texture which is kept whole during cooking.
These lentils originate from the Auvergne region of France, where they are called lentilles vertes du Puy. They are the only lentils to obtain the AOC label (Appelation d'Origine Controlée) label guaranteeing the quality and origin of the product.
