A real “living seed”, the basic food of many champions, the Green PUY Lentil is an excellent nutritional vegetable often compared to a “plant steak” (especially if it is eaten with cereals, including bread).
Favouring a better balanced diet, the Green PUY Lentil, by its originality and its flavour, goes perfectly with the pleasures of the table, and with the desire for fitness and health.

Some nutritionists even say that the consumption of dried pulses, including the Green PUY Lentil, contributes to lowering the cholesterol level. (Ref. Claude Aubert “Fabuleuses léguminieuses”). The Comité Français d'Education pour la Santé (C.F.E.S.) is also militating for the consumption of dried pulses, several times a week.

A source of life and energy, the Green PUY Lentil is rich in proteins (basic muscle-building foods), in carbohydrates (energy-giving foods), and in minerals (indispensable for the correct functioning of the organism).

Compared to other lentils, it has a lower total integument/weight ratio.
The Green PUY Lentil is:

• less rich in starch therefore less floury
• richer in minerals and sweeter, and therefore more tasty
• richer in trace elements therefore essential for the organism.

The greatest part of the energy provided by the Green PUY Lentil comes from the slow carbohydrates. Associated with dietary fibres, they are the opposite of the notion of “ empty calories” so severely denounced by nutritionists.

The modern diet often suffers from an absence of vitamins and minerals. The consumption of GREEN PUY LENTILS contributes effectively to correcting this deficiency.
