Red lentils tend to cook faster and breakdown faster, green lentils tend to hold there shape and are better for a dish with texture, I have many UK chef friends, have mucked in with them, taught a few to use them in several dishes, like soups as a thickener, we always used braised lentils with smokey bacon with our Duck breast dishes years ago, green lentil, brown to are higher in iron, I buy a number in the Indian shops here in Canada, for many applications, you can make a sweet pudding with the red ones, and the Indian people make fudge and other sweets with flours from lentils and chickpeas.
