green lentils

The search results include whole green lentils (including French green lentils, which are small and firm) and sprouted green lentils.

French green lentils should simmer about 20–25 minutes until tender but still firm. Other whole green lentils are listed as needing to be fully cooked—follow package instructions or cook until tender.

The listings show India, the United States, and Canada as countries of origin.

One sprouted green lentil entry lists 9 g protein and 10 g fiber. Other descriptions generally note plant-based protein, dietary fiber, and essential nutrients.

Use about 1 cup lentils to 3 cups water: rinse the lentils, bring to a boil, then simmer uncovered for about 20–25 minutes until tender but firm, and drain any excess water.

They’re recommended for soups, stews, curries, salads, grain bowls, casseroles, and Mediterranean or French-style dishes.

French green lentils are described as small and firm with a rich, earthy flavor. They hold their shape after cooking and add a hearty bite to dishes.
