Sprouting Lentils

February1

I love my new sprouting jar! First thing I did was sprout some lentils!

Before you begin, I highly suggest you get yourself a sprouting jar either online or from your local health food or gardening store.

Put 1/2 cup of dry lentils in the jar and fill it with 3 times as much water. Let it soak over night (8-12 hours). In the morning, drain the lentils, rinse and drain again. Set the jar at a 70 degree angle in a bowl so the rest of the water can drain out. Repeat this 2 or 3 times a day until you see 1 inch sprouts coming from each lentil (like in the photo). It should only take 1 or 2 days for the sprouts to show themselves.
