Multiple variants of Lentils
Lentils are small, lens-shaped legumes that come in a variety of colors, each with slightly different characteristics and culinary uses:
Red Lentils: These lentils are typically split and cook very quickly, becoming soft and slightly sweet. They are excellent for thickening soups and stews and are commonly used in Indian dals.
Green Lentils: They range in size and have a more pronounced, earthy, and slightly peppery flavor. Green lentils hold their shape well after cooking, making them ideal for salads, casseroles, and serving with fish or sausages.
Yellow Lentils: Similar to red lentils, yellow lentils (often split) cook quickly and become quite soft. They have a mild, slightly sweet flavor and are frequently used in Indian cuisine for dishes like dal and purees.
Brown Lentils: These are the most common type and have an earthy flavor. They hold their shape well during cooking, making them versatile for soups, stews, and salads.
Black Lentils (Beluga): These are small, shiny black lentils that resemble caviar. They have a rich, earthy flavor and maintain their shape when cooked, making them excellent for salads and side dishes.
