Description: Bright yellow decorticated lentils. Larger than the Petite Crimson Lentils. They hold their shape when cooked for 5-6 minutes. Wonderful for salads or quick seasoned side dishes. If cooked longer they will puree into a good soup base with fresh vegetables added meats, pasta or fish. Bright yellow Canary lentils are dried legumes stripped of their outer hulls and split. Often used to prepare Dhal, a thick, spicy stew that is a mainstay of Indian, Pakistani and Bangladeshi cuisine, Canaries are a delicious addition to any recipe that calls for creamy lentils.
