Green Lentils - These can be pale or mottled green-brown in color with a glossy exterior. They have a robust, somewhat peppery flavor. Green lentils generally take the longest to cook, upwards of 45 minutes, but they keep a firm texture even after cooking. This makes them ideal for salads and other side dishes. Look for Lentilles du Puy, Puy lentils, or French Green lentils. Red Lentils - With colors ranging from gold to orange to actual red, these are the sweetest and nuttiest of the lentils - to our mind, at least! They're somewhere in the middle in terms of cooking time and are usually done in about 30 minutes.

Like red lentils, brown lentils will cook up mushy and would be a good choice for baby soups and baby food recipes.ed lentils cook faster and are more smooth than other types of lentils. Red lentils are best for soups and purees and this makes them a great choice for baby food. It is thought that the red lentil will not cause gas as easily as other lentils because of the lower level of fiber.
