Brown Lentil Sprouts Seeds

Brown lentil sprouts are earthier and fuller flavoured than green lentils, with the same quick turnaround and satisfying crunch. They germinate in two to four days and are ready in four to six.

Sprouting softens the lentil and brings out a fresh, nutty taste that dried lentils never have. Use a jar with a mesh lid and rinse two or three times daily.

2. Drain well and transfer them to a sprouting jar with a mesh lid, or a cloth lined colander.
3. Rinse and drain thoroughly two or three times a day, keeping the jar tilted so no water sits at the bottom.
4. Keep the jar out of direct sunlight while the sprouts form.
5. Harvest in 4 to 6 days, once the shoots are about as long as the seed.
6. Rinse well and enjoy fresh, or cook lightly.
