The black lentils at Sierra Nut House are an ideal health-minded and delicious alternative grain. Their hue is from high concentrations of anthocyanins, the same antioxidants found in blueberries, plums, and cherries which are found to be memory-boosting and cancer-fighting.
Pairing well with seafood such as Salmon, Scallops, and Halibut they are the ideal summer super-food. Known for its use in Indian cuisine, the lentils can also be integrated in soups, braised in red wine, or with bacon and mushrooms.
