Green Lentils
Flavor and Texture: Green lentils have a robust, earthy flavor. They tend to hold their shape well, even after cooking, which makes them ideal for certain preparations.
Appearance: They are typically a pale to dark mottled green and are relatively larger than other common varieties.
Culinary Uses:
Excellent for salads, as they don’t turn mushy.
Used in hearty soups, stews, and main-dish side recipes.
A good choice for vegetarian loaves or burgers where texture is important.
Special Variety (e.g., Small Green Lentils/French Green Lentils):
Puy Lentils (Lentilles du Puy) or similar European green lentils are smaller, have a unique peppery taste, and hold their shape exceptionally well. They are considered gourmet and are often used in upscale French cuisine.
