the trusty companion...

These delicious lentils are a variety originating from the Middle East, though we source ours from the nutrient-dense, self-mulching soils of the Wimmera region in western Victoria. With a rich, black colour and spherical shape, they're also called 'caviar' lentils' due to their striking similarity to beluga caviar.

The Wimmera’s long cold winters and hot dry summers offer perfect growing conditions for this lentil, which is characterised by its earthy, rich flavour, thin skin, and ease of cooking. Beluga black lentils are a fantastic companion to braised meats & vegetables, or with duck and root vegetables such as beetroot and swede.

how to cook: rinse lentils and add 1 cup (250g) of Beluga Black lentils to 3 cups (750ml) water in a saucepan. Bring to the boil then reduce heat and simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally until just tender.

May be present: gluten

product information

NEW LOOK PACKAGING:

We're pretty darn excited to reveal that we're moving to our next-generation compostable pouch packaging for our 500g pulse sand grains, in line with our sustainability goals here at Mount Zero.

These incredible pouches are fully home-compostable and allow us to not only reduce waste, but also enable us to package our grains and pulses more efficiently. Oh, and by the way – they now come with a fully compostable snap-seal for easy pantry storage after opening!

Our Beluga black lentils are grown in the self-mulching soils of the Wimmera in Western Victoria.

These lentils maintain their shape when cooked and offer a great colour contrast when cooked with our Persian red lentils or with rice in a pilaf. They are a great source of iron, protein and fibre and have a low Gl (Glycemic Index) providing a slow release of energy.

Beluga black lentils are a fantastic companion to braised meats & vegetables, or with duck and root vegetables such as beetroot and swede.

Taste Great!

I usually buy organic green lentils from the supermarket as a healthier replacement for cereal, and I just have them with milk. Just tried these black lentils, they taste so much better! The best part is that they’re the same price. Definitely switching over!

The star of lentils

Beluga lentils are so delicious, they hold their shape and have a lovely nutty flavour. These lentils are not always easy to find, so a big thank you to Mt. Zero.
