What I do with lentils is just leave them with water during one night, not too much water so they "drink" it all. Once they sprout I cook them in a pan with a little of extra virgin olive oil. Finally I add salt and the result is a very crunchy and healthy snack that everybody likes. Sprouts with Mediterranean touch
- zwieback 5y agoAny lentils from the supermarket or do they have to be somehow untreated to sprout?
- uxamanda 5y agoMake sure they still have their hull, but other than that normal grocery store lentils will sprout.
- craigbaker 5y agoAll the lentils from the supermarket that I've tried (and all legumes for that matter) have successfully sprouted: brown, pardina, black (beluga), and red. They're also good raw when sprouted, but not pardina, which I found ended up with occasional super-hard ones that hurt my teeth.
- brudgers 5y agoI have been sprouting lentils for two years. I just by GV brand from Walmart for less than a dollar per pound bag. Started when I was clearing the pantry before moving to the west coast. The sprouting lids I think might date to the 1970’s and fit a mason jar. I soak them about 24 hours, only because I will start them when I see I am low at breakfast and drain them the next day. I let them sprout on the counter. Three or four days later they are done.
