Beluga lentils are a type of small, black lentil, which get their name from their resemblance to Beluga caviar.
Beluga lentils are high in dietary fibre and folates. Unlike green lentils, black lentils such as Beluga possess anthocyanins – the same powerful antioxidant found in dark berries like blueberries and blackberries. These antioxidants are great at preventing damage to cells by free-radicals.
