Yupik Organic Black Beluga Lentils, 2.2 lb (35.3 oz), Non-GMO, Vegan, Gluten-Free, Kosher, Raw, Sugar-Free - Rich in Protein, Fiber & Iron, Perfect for Soups & Salads

These black beluga lentils have become a staple in my pantry—not just for cooking, but for how well they store and display. The grains are small, round, and uniform, with no debris or broken pieces mixed in. When rinsed, they hold their shape and don’t leave residue or clouding behind. They cook evenly, keep a firm texture without turning mushy, and blend perfectly into soups or salads. The color is rich, the flavor is subtle and earthy, and the overall quality stays consistent across bags. I store mine in clear jars alongside rice and grains, and the presentation alone looks sharp—deep black contrast against lighter grains gives the whole cabinet a clean, structured aesthetic. — Curated by Jaded John | #OrderlyCleanDesign

These lentils are really nice. They require minimal fencing and there are no stones or dirt or bugs in them. So these are pre-washed. After 15 minutes in a pressure cooker they come out super nice and tender and they're very delicious.

No significant flavour change from other lentils. Nice change.

Wonderful lentils—very nutritious!

These lentils have a very unique flavor. They almost have a nutty undertone to them. They are smaller than the lentils I'm used to and are celiac friendly, so if you have an allergy to wheat/gluten like I do, these are right up your alley. The ONLY reason I did not rate 5 stars is because there were no directions on the label. Of course, you can just google how to cook lentils, especially if it's your first time making them, but it's convenient to have the directions printed on the label for obvious reasons. This is my first time buying black beluga lentils. I have tried the red and green lentils and they all have different cook times. These probably took about 15 minutes to simmer before they were done to my liking. After about 10 minutes, I just continued to check them until I felt they were soft enough for me. Great value for he amount you get and so easy to make!

High quality black beluga lentils.

Cook quickly- good nutrition for my vegetarian kiddo! I make a vegetarian shepherds pie with these - NYT recipe.

Rinse first, of course. I bring the water to a boil, add a touch of salt, add the lentils, and then simmer for about 25-30 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
