Brown lentils (uncooked)

Brown lentils are a common variety of lentil that hold their shape reasonably well when cooked, with an earthy, mild flavour. They are used in soups, stews, and salads, cooking faster than most dried beans and not requiring pre-soaking. They soften into a slightly grainy texture rather than fully breaking down like red lentils.

Measured before cooking, while the ingredient hasn't yet absorbed water or changed texture.
