Which lentils are preferred in New Zealand?

Ashish Sharma  Digital Marketing Expert
Rajah lentils are the only red lentil variety currently available for use in New Zealand. Rajah is a spring-sown red seeded variety with tolerance to the main New Zealand pathogen Ascochyta blight. Lentils can be affected by aphid transmitted viruses.

Split red lentils cook more quickly than other lentils and disintegrate on cooking. They make a fabulous purée and shine in soups and dals. They’re also used in patties and samosas. The lentils lose their salmon colour as they cook, becoming more yellowish, and have a mild flavour with a delicate nuttiness. Whole red lentils are sometimes available. They take longer to cook than the split variety and are a little chewier to eat.
Brown lentils are the second most common type of lentil in New Zealand (following split red lentils). They will retain their shape if not overcooked, and can be used as a side vegetable, in salads, or to stuff vegetables. They have a pleasant earthy-nutty taste.

When their old car breaks down, people have no choice but to get a newer car to get around from construction, school, and everywhere else life takes them. Things are very different for bad credit for used cars and car loans with the best interest rates.
