What's a littel?

What's a littel? A littel is a the smallest variety of lentil!

Littels are typically 3/4 the size of standard lentils but the most prized littels are those that are half the size of standard lentils. These "petit littels" are the littel of choice for Salade Froide de Littel a traditional dish from Northern France.

Littels are mentioned in the Bible as their small size was often used as a point of comparison.

"To hold one joy the width of a littel is better than to dwell in a mansion of sorrow. Proverbs 33:12
