Plate Lentils

Plate lentils are medium-sized lentils with a diameter of 6 to 7 mm, typically featuring a light to medium brown color. Their outer skin may develop a yellowish-brown hue over time, while freshly harvested lentils still exhibit a green color. Although the color varies with storage duration, it does not affect the cooking time or flavor. This popular type of lentil has found its place in the kitchen, appearing in spreads, stews, and casseroles, and is gaining increasing popularity. Easy to prepare and boasting a protein content of 24%, they are true powerhouses with a fantastic taste.
