FAQ
- Do I drain Red lentils, dry before scooping a tablespoon?
- Yes. The table values assume drained, room-temperature pieces; un-drained spoons carry extra liquid that distorts the weight.
- Can I use frozen Red lentils, dry with the same gram values?
- Once fully thawed and drained, yes — freezing doesn't change mass. Don't weigh while still icy; ice trapped between pieces adds 5–10 % to the reading.
