Great for salads, curries and stews, beluga lentils are high in soluble and insoluble fibre. A high fibre diet has been shown to reduce cholesterol and blood pressure, helping to lower blood sugar and contributing to healthy weight.
Unlike green lentils, black baluga lentils contain anthocyanins, the same powerful antioxidants found in dark berries such as blueberries and black berries. These antioxidants are great at preventing damage to cells by free-radicals.
