Organic Green Lentils and Einkorn Wheat -- Complete Plant-Based Protein Blend from the French Terroir

Are you looking for an organic French blend that combines the proteins of legumes with the complex carbohydrates of an ancient grain for a complete meal with optimal nutritional complementarity, produced via a short supply chain? The Organic Green Lentil and Einkorn Wheat Blend from Graines de Sens combines 50% organic French green lentils and 50% organic French einkorn. Two ingredients, two complementary nutritional worlds. Grown by a collective of committed farmers, packaged in France. Certified Organic.

The benefits of this organic blend

• Natural protein complementarity: lentils (rich in lysine, low in methionine) and einkorn (rich in methionine, low in lysine) complement each other to form a protein profile covering all 9 essential amino acids in a single dish.
• Einkorn, a non-hybridized ancient grain: einkorn (Triticum monococcum) is one of the oldest cultivated cereals, unhybridized for millennia, with a mineral and protein profile superior to modern wheat.
• 100% organic French, short supply chain: collective of committed farmers, traceability from seed to pouch, packaged in France.
• Harmonized cooking: the blend is designed so that both ingredients have the same cooking time, with no adjustment required.
• Rich in fiber and moderate glycemic index: the combination of legume and ancient grain provides a steady, satiating carbohydrate profile.

The ingredients and their nutritional role

Organic French green lentils (50%)

Rich in plant proteins (25g/100g dry), lysine, non-heme iron (7-8mg/100g), folates (vitamin B9), and prebiotic fibers. Low glycemic index (GI 25-30). Iron contributes to the normal formation of hemoglobin and the reduction of fatigue (official EFSA health claim). Folates contribute to normal amino acid synthesis (official EFSA health claim).

Organic French einkorn (Triticum monococcum, 50%)

Einkorn is the oldest cultivated cereal, domesticated over 10,000 years ago. Non-hybridized, it retains its original genome and a remarkable nutritional profile: 15-17% protein with all essential amino acids, rich in magnesium, zinc, selenium, and vitamin B. Its gluten, different from that of modern wheat, is often better tolerated by those sensitive to gluten (excluding celiac disease). Einkorn is one of the cereals richest in essential amino acids among grasses grown in France.

Who is this blend for?

• Vegetarians or vegans looking for a complete plant-based protein dish without supplementation
• Athletes wanting a complex, moderate-GI carbohydrate combined with a complete protein source
• People sensitive to modern wheat gluten who better tolerate ancient grains (excluding celiac)
• Families who care about eating local, organic, and nutritious food in a single preparation

FAQ

Can this blend be consumed by people with celiac disease?
No. Einkorn contains gluten and is not suitable for people with celiac disease. For people with non-celiac gluten sensitivity, the gluten in Triticum monococcum is generally better tolerated than that of modern wheat, but each individual must evaluate their own tolerance.

Is the cooking time really harmonized for both ingredients?
Yes, Graines de Sens has selected varieties and grain sizes specifically so that both ingredients have the same optimal cooking time. No need to pre-cook them separately.

What is the nutritional difference compared to lentils alone?
Einkorn provides the sulfur-containing amino acids (methionine, cysteine) that lentils alone do not cover well. Together, they form a complete protein profile without needing to add another source of protein to the meal.
