Sprouted Lentils
Ingredients/Materials:
1 bag of green lentils (organic preferred)
A glass sprouting jar with a lid (you can buy this on Amazon)
Water
Instructions:
1. Place your desired amount of dried lentils in a jar and cover with water. (Consider how many cups of lentils you'd like because sprouted lentils will triple or quadruple in volume. See picture.)
2. Leave to soak overnight then the next morning, drain and rinse your lentils.
3. Keep them in the jar without water & turn the jar upside down, propped up for drainage and air circulation. (Keep it on a tilt!)
4. Rinse and drain lentils twice a day and keep them turned upside down. After 24 hours you may start to see little tails forming.
5. After 2 - 3 days your sprouted lentils are ready to eat. Taste them as they sprout and eat them when you like the taste. Any leftovers can be refrigerated for up to a week.
Serving size varies.
*Add them to salads, stir-fry, or just eat as a snack!
*Sprouted lentils have higher amounts of vitamins & minerals.
*Lentils are also a great source of plant protein.
