Sprouting Lentils at Home





These flavour packed lentils give salads and soups a nice boost.  When you eat alive foods, you can tell.  They have a strong peppery taste so a few go a long way.  In Canada's long winters, fresh alive green foods are a welcome addition to any meal.


Fill a mason jar 1/2 full of lentils, and then fill with water.







Let sit for a day, then drain water.


Tip jar upside down on a dish, and rinse every 8 hours with tap water.


Once the little leaves show yellow/green, rinse them and store them lightly covered in the fridge.  Remember to rinse them daily while being stored.

  1. Great idea! I grow microgreens inside, but had never thought to sprout lentils.
