Green Lentils
Green lentils are whole lentils with a mild, earthy flavor and a firmer bite than softer red lentils. Rinse and simmer them until tender so they stay distinct in soups, salads, and grain bowls.
Identity
Firm whole lentils
Use when you want lentils to keep some shape.
Green lentils hold their shape well when cooked at a gentle simmer. They can still split if boiled hard or cooked too long, so taste them as they near tenderness and season after the texture is where you want it.
