      i fear eating them, since i had 2 days long migraines often, i think cooking them like this is really nesscessary, to get rid of toxins from the outher shell. but i am far to hungry for this method.

        Just an FYI, that was a joke. Lentils cook faster than any other bean and you do not need to soak them. They are super healthy for you.

          there are species of lentils you have to soak in water for days, and then cook really long, i didnt made that up.

            Interesting. I usually do the French Lentils because they cook the fastest. And regular brown. Red are quick but I usually use those to thicken pasta sauce since they disintegrate but add thickness and protein.

              there are like 100dreds of different ones ;-)

              usually, you have to cook them this long because the outer shell has some form of toxin against plant eating animals.
