Brown Lentils

There are several types of lentils, which can be confusing as they vary in size, shape and color. The most common are the green or brown lentils, which have a seed coat outside that ranges from light greens to dark browns and the insides, are a creamy almost yellow colour. Puy Lentils which are the authentic grown in France gourmet lentil, have a stronger flavor and don’t tend to go mushy when cooked. Red lentils are smaller and rounder and tend to cook down to a mushier consistency
