Basic Black Lentils

Black lentils are dark and dense and are just perfect for those recipes that call for that dark intense color. Nutritionally, they are truly outstanding. You will find them in Creme au Chocolat, Chocolate Lava Cake, Cocoa Almond Oat Power Shake, Flourless Dark Chocolate Cake, Silky Chocolate Pudding or all of my burgers.
