A star of the Haute-Loire department and the pride of the city of Le Puy-en-Velay, the green lentil is now an upmarket product, at a time when everyone is talking about the benefits of legumes!

Awarded both AOC and PDO status, its rigorous specifications mean this little pulse is big on quality, and guarantee its region of origin.

The quintessential health food, the Le Puy lentil is a substitute for meat and other sources of protein. It therefore has an important place in a vegan diet, although it is also highly prized by chefs as it always goes perfectly with the great classics: petit salé, in vinaigrette with soft-boiled eggs and bacon, with all meats and many types of fish. It can also be rediscovered in timbales, tabbouleh, lasagna, terrines... and even in pancakes, sweet cakes or chocolate cakes!

The Le Puy green lentil has more than one trick up its sleeve. Very easy to cook because it requires no soaking or rinsing, it has many health benefits. Rich in minerals, trace elements and good carbohydrates, it is a real energy reservoir. All the more reason to enjoy it during your stay in Auvergne, and to bring some back home in your suitcase!
