Originated in France, French Green lentils are known for their distinctive rich, peppery flavor. They are further distinguished by their slate green color with bluish-black undertones. In addition, these lentils are rich in antioxidant phytochemicals similar to those in blueberries and black grapes, and in minerals, particularly iron and magnesium. Furthermore, these seeds are chock-full of soluble fiber, which in turn helps regulate blood glucose levels, not to mention that it also lowers cholesterol.
