Green lentils (uncooked)

Green lentils are a variety of lentil that holds its shape well during cooking, with a mild, earthy flavour slightly more robust than red lentils. They are used in soups, salads, and side dishes, needing no pre-soaking and cooking in a moderate amount of time. Their firmer texture after cooking makes them well suited to dishes where distinct lentils are wanted rather than a purée.
