Single-conversion pages for dried lentils
Working with dried lentils
Dried Lentils sits in the grains, rice & legumes group, where a cup lands in the same range as water, but the material still compacts differently depending on how you fill the cup. Brown, green and red lentils are within a few grams of each other per cup.
If you are converting a whole recipe rather than a single line, the Recipe to Metric converter matches every ingredient to its own density in one pass, and the Recipe Scaler resizes the batch first so you only convert once.
