What is the difference between lentils & legumes?
Are they both beans? Someone please give me an example of each.

A lentil is a type of legume.
You got it backwards.
Lentils are legumes.
So are beans.
So are chickpeas,
so are regular peas.
Legumes are the edibles that grow in pods.
the same difference that is prevailing between a Ford and a car.
Lentils are beans/peas (whatever). Lentils are a type of legume. Legumes are the edible fruit (or useful part) of the plant. Legumes can be beans, peas, nuts.
