Green Lentils

Green lentils are one of the most popular lentil varieties, valued for their mild, earthy flavor and firm texture that holds its shape even after cooking. Unlike red lentils, they do not require soaking and cook in approximately 20-30 minutes. They are great in soups, salads, side dishes, vegetarian patties, and spreads. They are an excellent source of plant-based protein, dietary fiber, iron, and B vitamins. In many traditional cuisines, they are served with smoked meat or used in hearty lentil soups.
