red lentils dry

Dry red lentils are typically sold whole, split (halves), or ground into red lentil flour.

Package sizes vary widely — listings show single bags from 16 ounces up to 160 ounces, and some multi-pack totals listed up to 288 ounces.

Descriptions indicate split red lentils cook quickly — commonly within 15–20 minutes — and many directions note no pre-soak is required.

Some product listings specify India as the country of origin; others list the origin as "Varies, Please See Label."

Product text commonly highlights red lentils as sources of fiber, vitamins, protein, and minerals (such as iron, calcium, and phosphorus) and notes they are vegan and promoted as healthy sources of protein and fiber.

Red lentil flour is finely ground dry red lentils with no additives. It's used as a gluten-free, protein- and fiber-rich flour for thickening soups and gravies and for making pasta, pancakes, baked goods, and other savory or sweet recipes.
