Where do I find French green lentils?
I found a recipe that calls for them. However, I find only green lentils at Trader Joe's and Market Basket.

Or Sophia's in Belmont for super cheap at $1.79 a pound. My SO just bought some 2 nights ago when I had an itch to make lentil soup. They also had the foofier branded product for more $, but these were obviously bagged by the store and gorgeous.
(These are the same plump, tiny, French green lentils that Formaggio probably charges a ton for. Some one will probably chime in now saying that unless it's in the box and bought for the price of a decent bottle of burgundy then it ain't worth buying.)

And, of course, at Arax Market, also bulk, also cheap....
FWIW, I like these for salads and dishes where the lentils need to hold their shape, but I prefer the more prosaic generic lentils for soup, cuz they get mushier... ;)-----

Bulk bins at the Harvest Coop. Good price too, iirc.
If you want DOP du Puy ones, I'd look for them at Formaggio Kitchen and expect to pay a pretty penny.
