Growing Organic Green Lentil Sprout Seeds

Using either a seed sprouting jar, sprouting tray, or hemp sprout bag, add about 2 tbsp organic Green Lentil sprout seeds to a container and allow seeds an initial soaking for 4-6 hours. After the initial soak, add them to your container of choice.

Jar or bag: Add to a sprouting jar or bag and rinse the lentils 2-3x per day followed by a quick drain. Do not allow the water to sit on the sprouts. Rinse seeds 2-3x per day for 2-3 days. This will keep the lentil sprouts fresh, crunchy, and hydrated without oversaturating them. Keep them away from direct light and begin harvest in 2 or 3 days. They can be ready for soups or additional cooking in less than 2 days. If sprouting for raw use, the lentil is most tender and delicious within 48-72 hours of the pre-soak.

Tray: Spread onto a thin layer in a sprouting tray. Rinse or add water 2x per day, or follow sprouting tray instructions. Harvest in 2-3 days or as desired.

Benefits of Organic Green Lentil Sprouts

Lentil sprouting seeds grow a protein-rich sprout fortified with Calcium, Potassium, Phosphorus, Magnesium, Vitamins A, C, Omega-3, and Omega-6 Fatty Acids. Not only does it contain plentiful nutrients but it also contains a compound called phytic acid which essentially increases your body’s ability to absorb nutrients from this food and others.
