Can anyone help me here?
Trying to expand my recipe repertoire, I bought these split red lentils.
They certainly seemed to look like what my recipe specified. But what does the ingredients list on the pack mean?
I am confused. There are so many different sorts of lentils, but are split red lentils, that I have used for years, really black lentils unskilled?
Help please….
I mean unskinned. 
I am no lentil expert, but they certainly look like red lentils to me.
Black lentils would not look red. Perhaps a typo on the packaging?
Generally red lentils are yellow lentils that have been hulled and split.
Black split lentils are urad dahl or black gram dahl. Urad dahl has a grey cream to cream colour.
It appears the ingredients may be in err or the product is a uncommon lentil variety, where the black lentil has a orange/red interior.
Either way, they are red dahl and can be used in recipes as such.
I like Brown lentils 
Think this is a misprint, I buy these red Pattu lentils monthly and like them heaps.
I will read the next label thoughly, also many types of lentils out there,they are great food.
