No, red split lentils do not need soaking. They cook quickly in water or stock in around 15 to 20 minutes, which makes them very convenient for everyday meals.
What is the difference between red lentils and red split lentils?
Red lentils are often sold as red split lentils because they have already had their skins removed and been split in half. This helps them cook faster and gives a softer texture.
Do red lentils thicken a curry or soup?
Yes, red lentils naturally break down as they cook, which helps thicken curries, soups, and stews without needing to add flour or cream.
