Lentiles vertes du Berry are dark green lentils, whole seeds of the Lens culinaris variety that have been dried and are intended mostly for cooking. The maximum cooking time is 30 minutes and they have been grown in the Indre and Cher regions in France since the year 1950.

The favorable climate in the region helps the lentils to achieve their best qualities, from the dry periods in March to the rainy periods in April and May, they help the lentils germinate and prevent the development of diseases. The taste is nutty when cooked, reminiscent to that of chestnuts and they provide four times more fiber than potatoes, rice or pasta.

The lentils can also be ground to make gluten-free flour for making unique pancakes, gnocchi or cakes.
