Bruce, Gary,

Thanks for the info. I started looking at the beans more closely and it appears that the dark green "skin" has just rubbed off some of the beans. I keep a canning jar full in the pantry and store the rest in the refrigerator. I'll try some tonight and see how they come out.

I normally boil them with some kombu and onion. I like the flavor of the french green lentils better than regular green lentils. It reminds me of Campbell's vegetable soup I used to eat as a kid. Thanks again for the info.
