Notes

Sprouting Lentils or Grains Soak the grains in water for about 4 hours. Drain the water. Place in a sprouting container. I use a multilayer compartment which keeps the grains moist without any contamination. Set this aside for 2 to 3 days. You should see the sprouts appear as tiny shoots. The reason for sprouting lentils other than appearance is the nutritional value, sprouted lentils and beans are a powerhouse of nutrition!
