"Wide lentils" generally refers to large green or brown lentil varieties that are bigger than other types and are prized for holding their shape and providing a firm texture when cooked. They are a versatile, nutrient-dense legume used in a variety of hearty dishes.
Characteristics and Varieties
Wide lentils are typically the standard type of lentil found in most grocery stores and are often simply labeled as "lentils".
- Large Green Lentils: Varieties such as the Laird lentil (a classic large green type) have a glossy skin and a pleasant, peppery flavor. They are a popular choice for dishes where an intact, firm texture is desired.
- Large Brown Lentils: These range in color from khaki to dark brown. They offer a mild, earthy flavor and also hold their shape well, though they can become slightly mushy if overcooked.
- Puy Lentils: While smaller than some "wide" varieties, French green lentils (Puy lentils) are renowned for their unique, flinty flavor and firm texture that holds its shape better than any other lentil type.
