Product Overview

• Product Name: Lentilles Vertes (Green Lentils)
• Brand: Pomona’s (likely part of the Pomona’s Organic or Pomona’s Natural line, a subsidiary of ConAgra Foods or a distributor).
• Type: Dry green lentils (likely Puy lentils or a similar variety, given the name).
• Common Uses: Cooked as a side dish, in soups, stews, salads, or as a protein-rich vegetarian/vegan ingredient.

Key Characteristics

1. Lentil Variety:

   • "Vertes" suggests green lentils, which are typically Puy lentils (small, firm, and hold shape well when cooked). They are less prone to breaking than red lentils and have a mild, earthy flavor.
   • If not Puy, they may be a similar green variety (e.g., French green lentils or Beluga lentils).

2. Packaging:

   • Typically sold in 16–32 oz (450–900g) paper bags or plastic containers (common for dry lentils).
   • May include a best-by date (usually 12–24 months from production).

3. Organic Status:

   • Pomona’s often markets organic products, but 75415853 does not explicitly confirm organic certification. Verify the packaging for USDA Organic or EU Organic logos if this is critical.
