Suma Beluga Lentils 3kg

Dried Beluga Lentils

Suma Beluga Lentils 3kg are small, glossy black lentils that cook to a firm, tidy texture with a gently earthy flavour. They are sometimes called black lentils and they are popular because they hold their shape well, so you can use them in everything from warm salads to rich stews without ending up with a mushy bowl. They are easy to cook on the hob and work brilliantly as an alternative to rice or pasta when you want something a bit more substantial on the plate. This larger pack is especially handy if you batch cook, cater, or like having a reliable store cupboard staple for soups, curries and meal prep lunches.

Do beluga lentils need soaking?

Beluga lentils do not usually need soaking because they are small and cook relatively quickly. A thorough rinse is normally all you need before cooking to remove any dust and help keep the finished lentils clean tasting.

How long do beluga lentils take to cook?

They typically take around twenty to thirty minutes depending on how firm you like them. For salads, aim for a firmer texture and start checking earlier, and for stews you can cook them a little longer so they settle into the sauce while still holding their shape.

Why are they called beluga lentils?

The name comes from their appearance, as the cooked lentils are small, shiny and black, similar in look to beluga caviar. That visual makes them a favourite for smarter plating, especially in salads and starter portions.
