How To Sprout Lentils

lentils (dried, whole)

water

In the evening, rinse the lentils under running water and discard any irregular/discolored lentils.

Place the rinsed lentils in a large mixing bowl and fill with about a half gallon of water.

Cover with a kitchen cloth. Allow to soak a minimum of 7 to 8 hours, but preferably up to 12 hours or overnight, or as much as 24 hours.

In the morning, drain, rinse, and re-drain the lentils well with a colander.

With the lentils in the colander, place a plate under the colander to let any excess water drip onto. Cover with a kitchen cloth and let sit all day.

In the evening, repeat the same process: rinse lentils, drain, and let sit with a kitchen cloth.

Repeat every morning and evening until the lentils have shoots that are 1/4 inch long or longer, according to preference.

If the temperature is warmer than room temperature, such as during the summer months, add a third or fourth rinse daily.

Once sprouted, use them raw, lightly steamed, or cooked!

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. In the refrigerator, they will continue to grow, but much more slowly. Rinse again as needed to keep fresh. Rinsing every 2 days is recommended.

How to Sprout Lentils

lentils, rinsed 2-3 times

Run your fingers through the dried lentils and discard any stones or dirt particles. Rinse the lentils 2-3 times to clean them thoroughly, then drain them. Soak them in 3 cups of water overnight or at least 12 hours.

Discard the soaking liquid, and rinse and drain them. Transfer the lentils to a 1 quart mason jar.

Cover the jar with a damp paper towel or muslin cloth, and secure that with the hollow outer ring of the canning lid.

Invert the jar and place it tilted in a bowl or lay it sideways on the coutertop. Keep it in a cool dark place for another 12 hours, or overnight.

Check on the progress. By now lentils would have grown little white tails. Depending on the weather and location, this might take 24-36 hours. If the tails are too small, rinse and drain the lentils. Cover them with a fresh kitchen towel, secure the lid, and store them titled for another 12 hours.

Once the tails reach your desired length, rinse and drain the lentils. Once dry, store them in an airtight container and refrigerate them until ready to use.
