Actually, the lentils are much flatter than the split peas (which are more

" half ball " like). I find the split peas to tast much like regular fresh

peas, and lentils...hmmm, well....more like other beans, I guess. hard to

describe!!

 

I can't keep up with all the posts here (not that I am complaining, mind

you!) so I am not sure if it has been posted, but I like barley and lentils

together; makes a great soup! I also use lentils in my chili pot, along

with kidney beans. The lentils cook in much less time than the kidneys, but

I throw them in the pot together (same time). That way the lentils get soft

and bust open, and give the " filler " that ground beef would have given to a

pot of meat chilli.
