Did you know?
Red Lentils and Green Lentils have almost the same nutritional profiles. Both types contain similar amounts of fibre, proteins, calories, vitamins and minerals such as Iron and Potassium.
The biggest difference between the two is their taste and texture, with the red variety having a mushier consistency and sweeter taste.
Both types of lentils are actual seeds with small lens-like shape.
Red lentils are orange-red in colour, usually available as split lentils, and are most commonly used in Indian cuisine for making curry or daal. They are also used for making gluten-free pasta.
Green lentils have earthy-green colour, available as whole seeds, and are used in salads, soups, mixed with rice and chillies or as a substitute for green peas and beans.
