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.
