Cookies made from lentils? Yes, and they're surprisingly good.

Fines Lentilles by L'Atelier Contal are delicate French butter cookies made with organic green lentil flour instead of traditional wheat flour. Naturally nutty, gently sweet and with a subtle almond-like flavour, despite containing no almonds in the recipe.

Handcrafted in the French Ardennes by a farmer, miller and biscuit maker, these cookies begin with green lentils grown in the producer's own fields and stone-ground into flour at their own mill.

Made with organic Isigny butter, free-range-style richness from organic eggs and just a handful of carefully chosen ingredients. An unexpected discovery that happens to be gluten-free.
