About BLACK LENTILS, BLACK
Simply Balanced Black Lentils is a pre-cooked, minimally processed lentil product from Target's Simply Balanced natural foods private-label brand, offering the same two-ingredient composition as the Good and Gather Black 90 Second Lentils (entry 1892532). The product consists of water and black lentils, presented as a ready-to-heat convenience food in a shelf-stable or refrigerated format. Simply Balanced was Target's organic and natural store-brand before consolidation under Good and Gather.
The ingredient list contains only water and black lentils, with no added salt, seasonings, preservatives, or processing aids. This single-legume composition makes it one of the cleanest-label products in Target's store-brand portfolio. No major allergens are declared. The product is naturally vegan, gluten-free, and free from all common allergens based on declared ingredients. Black lentils (also called beluga lentils for their resemblance to caviar) are a variety of Lens culinaris with a firm texture that holds up well to cooking and a mild, earthy flavor.
