March Staff Selection: Green Le Puy Lentils from France 10% off!

from Staffer Mary Stover

March is an interesting month. We are still wrapped in winter, but are also looking to capture a little bit of spring. I am still making hearty soups for my family, but also yearn for lighter foods. Sabarot Le Puy French Green Lentils are the perfect ingredient for hearty soups and sausage stews and is also equally delicious in salads. These little green gems are delicate, yet earthy & robust. And the best part is that they don't require soaking!

Le Puy Green Lentils are cultivated exclusively in the Le Puy area in the volcanic soil of France's Auvergne region. These lentils are grown without fertilizers and are the first dry vegetable, and only lentil, to obtain the AOC label. This label guarantees authenticity, quality and product origin. And, do you know that lentils also have the highest protein content of all vegetables?

During March, Sabarot Le Puy Green Lentils are 10% off. I hope you enjoy some of these delicious recipes:
