How to Grow Lentil Sprouts: Thay have Trippled in Size.

lentil sprouts day 3b

MAN! Look at the difference from this morning and this evening. The sprouts have nearly tripled in length.

As for the taste, I tasted a few. They taste like the bean sprouts that you get in the supermarket with a slight starch flavor from the lentil itself. Interesting.

I am thinking about adding some salt to see if that would change the flavor at all. Might eventually add some dressing or vinegrete or something. Do you all have any ideas if I want to eat them by themselves.

These lentils are sprouting nicely. I rinsed them and drained them. I am curious how they are going to taste. I am going to give them one more day before I taste them.

Growing Sprouts Day 2

I have drained all the water and rinsed them thoroughly. I placed them on the kitchen counter out of direct sunlight. I dampened a paper towel and laid it across the top of the glad container, just to keep some of the moisture in.

Some of the lentils have split and I believe I see a couple of tips sticking out. They should be sprouting very soon. Shouldn’t be more than a couple more days till I can eat them.

Sprouts Day 1

I have been doing a little research on growing your own sprouts. Above is a hand full of lentils that are soaking in water over night. I will show you what happens tomorrow. Below is one of my favorite videos on the subject of growing your own sprouts.

From what I have read, sprouts are one of the worlds most nutritious super-foods. They would be great to be eaten in salads and pastries and many other recipes.
