The lentil is a member of the legume family. It is known for its lens-shaped seeds that grow two seeds to a pod. Lentils have been a food source since aceramic Neolithic times, being one of the earliest domesticated crops in the Near East. Archeological evidence reveals they were eaten 9,500 to 13,000 years ago. They come in colour varieties of green, reddish orange, yellow, brown, and black.
