We bought a 2 pound bag of lentils for $4, which you could probably get cheaper. After three batches we still have about a pound left. That recipe calls for two cups of lentils per batch. How are you get 11-12 cups of lentils out of 2 pounds? I usually get 2-3 cups per pound.

22 Eargesplitten posted:They’re dried lentils, are you using dried? It might be three pounds, but I think it’s two. I don’t know if red lentils vs green makes a difference. Yeah, I’m using dried. Here’s a picture of a pound of popcorn:  Measured out into a cup measure as about 2 cups.  A cup of popcorn weighs about 225g versus 210g for a cup of lentils. I think at the verrrry start of the thread Dino mentioned something similar about getting several cups out of a pound of rice/beans and i have no idea how people are managing this. A quick google says that that a pound of lentils equals 2.29 cups.

Sorry to be pedantic about it. I just remember way back when I was living on a lot less and whether those beans gave me two cups or four cups was a big deal.
