VARIETIES
LAIRD
Large lentil (6,0 - 7,0 mm diameter) with green skin. Laird lentils have long been the preferred type of lentils in much of Europe and Latin America. The taste and texture vary greatly by country and region of origin, but are richer than the smaller varieties.
ESTON
Small lentil (4.5 - 5.5 mm) with green skin. Its low starch content and color make soups clear and it is also used in salads. They have a relatively neutral flavor.
CRIMSON
(Lens Esculenta) Whole Red Lentil, the skin is removed from the lentil leaving the inner portion of the seed whole (not split). The result is a beautiful, intact reddish-orange polished product. They cook much faster than other lentils.
