Tania's Shortcut

Sprouting makes it easier for your body to take in the good stuff.
When lentils are dry, they have natural substances that can block your body from fully absorbing important minerals like iron and zinc. But when you sprout them, those blockers go away, and your body can get more of the nutrients it needs.

When lentils sprout, they actually start growing—just a little—which boosts their vitamin content. You get more vitamin C and B vitamins, which are great for energy and your immune system.

Sprouted lentils are gentler on your stomach. They have fewer of the sugars that can cause gas or bloating, so you feel better after eating them.

How To Sprout Lentils

1

Put your lentils in a large container and cover them with water and leave soaking for 12-24 hours.

2

After one day, rinse the water and put the lentils in a strainer and leave them in there.

On Day two make sure that you give your lentils a good stir, by now you should be able to see them growing little tails.

3

After roughly three days you should notice your lentil tails growing, that's when they are done and ready to be used to cook. But make sure to always boil them in a saucepan thoroughly for 10 to 20 minutes.
