Red Split Lentils… A vibrant color and a quickly present flavor

Red lentils may seem like a completely different type compared to brown lentils, but the truth is they both come from the same roots. Red split lentils are simply brown lentils that have had their outer shell removed and split in half. This simple process was like a small revolution in the world of legumes, making lentils a quicker cooking option, easier to digest, and more versatile in use, without losing their nutritional value or rich flavor. It is believed that this method first appeared in the kitchens of the Middle East, where humans have been growing lentils for thousands of years, and later spread to Asian cuisines that have always been known for their recipes featuring pureed legumes. Today, red split lentils are an essential ingredient in soups and stews, where they easily dissolve, giving the dish a creamy texture and a warm, pleasant color.
