Description
Also known as Puy lentils, these distinctive green lentils are a variety originating from Puy in France. In line with our sustainability and regionality goals here at Mount Zero, we source ours a little closer to home…specifically, the rich, self-mulching soils of the Wimmera region in western Victoria.
The Wimmera’s long cold winters and hot dry summers offer perfect growing conditions for this lentil, which is characterised by its nutty flavour, thin skin, firm texture and general ease of cooking. For these reasons, the French style green lentil is a classic chef favourite, and forms the basis of many great salad and soup recipes. They’re also a great companion to feta, chèvre, mint, peas, tomatoes and game meats
We’re pretty darn excited to reveal that we’re moving to our next-generation compostable pouch packaging for our 500g pulse sand grains, in line with our sustainability goals here at Mount Zero.
These incredible pouches are fully home-compostable and allow us to not only reduce waste, but also enable us to package our grains and pulses more efficiently. Oh, and by the way – they now come with a fully compostable snap-seal for easy pantry storage after opening!
