My big batch of lentil soup turned into weird slime after 4 days
I made this huge pot of red lentil soup with onions, carrots, and garlic last Monday. Threw in some spinach at the end like I always do... but by Friday it had this weird film on top and smelled sour. Turns out red lentils break down way faster than green ones and leftover spinach releases something that makes it spoil quick. Now I only make half batches with red lentils and I add the spinach fresh when I reheat each bowl. Has anyone else had lentils go bad on them faster than you expected?

Did you rinse the lentils before cooking?

Rinsing lentils is mostly a waste of water if you ask me. I never rinse them and everything turns out fine.
