Red lentils (uncooked)

Red lentils are small, salmon-coloured lentils that cook quickly and break down into a soft, creamy consistency, making them well suited to thick soups, dals, and purées. They require no pre-soaking and have a mild, slightly sweet, earthy flavour. Their tendency to fully soften distinguishes them from firmer varieties like green or brown lentils.

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