What are your favorite type of lentils, what do you use them in, why are they preferred for that dish than others?
I recently realized I have only had maybe 1 or two types, and upon searching them found they all supposedly taste different and have different textures.
Wherher it is for cheap decent soup or an old family recipe; slap me with some information


TIL about different types of lentils.
We always have a few cans of the brown ones which is just used as like a replacement for ground beef in things like chilli, pasta. And ofc just in curries. Idk they seem to go very well in a lot of random stuff.
Would anyone recommend trying out other colors of lentils? Or is the taste/price/nutrition not really worth it?
