Is Grout Sealing Necessary after Installing New Tile? After installing new tiles on your floors, showers, walls, or countertops, you may ask whether or not it is necessary to seal your tile surfaces. Most installers will not seal the tile surfaces right away to ensure that the grout has enough time to cure completely.
Lentils and split peas each contain about 244 calories per cup. Split peas have 17 grams of protein, compared to lentils' 19 grams of protein. Both of these foods are high in fiber, which promotes good digestive health and cholesterol control. Peas have 6 grams of fiber, less than the almost 9 grams provided by lentils. If you are a vegetarian or vegan, lentils provide 7 milligrams of iron, while split peas only have 2.7 milligrams. Both foods are beneficial sources of potassium, with split peas providing 750 milligrams and lentils 772 milligrams per 1 cup.
In fact, the answer is very simple. All you need to remember is that lentils fall into two broad classes: the red, and the rest. Red or split lentils (they're actually a bright orange color) are different from all the other types in two important respects. They need much less cooking time (less than ten minutes). And they disintegrate into a mush when cooked. Because of this second point, red lentils are unsuitable for most lentil recipes.
