Different Types Of Lentils

There are many types of lentils out there and some are more popular than the others. Here are a few types of lentils that we usually use:

• Red lentils: These lentils are orange or red in color and cook relatively quickly and tend to get mushy when boiled, making them ideal for making soups.
• Brown Lentils: These are the most commonly available lentils and are often used in a variety of dishes. They have a mild, earthy flavor and maintain their shape well when cooked. Brown lentils are suitable for soups, stews and salads.
• Green Lentils: These lentils have a slightly peppery and nutty flavor. They hold their shape when cooked and have a firmer texture compared to brown lentils. Green lentils are often used in salads and side dishes.
