In 1996, the Green Berry Lentil was awarded the Label Rouge, which stands for ‘Superior Quality Guarantee’. This distinction, obtained for the 1st time for a dry vegetable, was reinforced by a Protected Geographical Indication in 1998. This PGI, managed by the INAO, identifies and promotes a food product that derives its specific characteristics from its geographical origin.

Growing green lentils
Sowing takes place in March
Flowering occurs in May and June; their little white flowers are streaked with violet
Pods appear at the end of June with just one or two lentils per pod
A combine harvester harvests the lentils in mid-July, just like cereal crops
The lentils are sorted during the summer
Mid-September: the new harvest is taken to market; this is one of the obligations that come with Label Rouge and PGI certification
