Red lentils are split and dissolve when cooked (20–25 minutes) — ideal for soups and dal. Green lentils have a more robust, peppery flavour; red lentils are milder. Both are high in protein and fibre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo green lentils need soaking?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo — they cook without soaking in 25–30 minutes. Soaking for 1 hour reduces cooking time to around 15–20 minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre green lentils and puy lentils the same?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo — puy lentils are a specific French variety (from Le Puy-en-Velay) with a PDO designation. They are smaller, specklier, and have a particularly complex flavour. Green lentils are a similar but more widely available and more economical variety with comparable culinary uses.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Just Natural Organic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49215430099196,"sku":"JNO3274","price":3.09,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/4683\/9207\/files\/JN58_large_d59a7aee-9288-4ec6-a032-cebf43268977.jpg?v=1781961202","url":"https:\/\/econaturalproducts.co.uk\/products\/organic-green-lentils-500g","provider":"Eco Natural Products","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
