About Dried green lentils

Dried green lentils are mature lentil seeds harvested and dried, with green to mottled skins and a firm, lens-shaped form. Once cooked, they tend to retain their shape and have an earthy, mildly peppery flavour.

They are sold whole and dry, then rinsed and simmered until tender for use in soups, salads, and other dishes. Cooking time and final texture vary with lentil size, age, and storage; cooked lentils are a different water-rich form.
