Cultivation Advice 

  • Choose certified organic green lentils labeled specifically for sprouting. Ensure they are untreated and suitable for consumption.
  • Measure around 1/2 to 1 cup of green lentils (adjust based on your sprouting container’s size). Rinse the seeds thoroughly under cold water.
  • Place the seeds in a glass jar or sprouting tray and cover them with about 2-3 times their volume of clean water. Soak the seeds for 8-12 hours or overnight.
  • After soaking, drain the water from the seeds using a fine mesh sieve or sprouting lid. Rinse the seeds thoroughly with fresh water and drain again.
  • Spread the rinsed seeds evenly in the sprouting container to ensure good coverage. Cover the container with a breathable lid or mesh to allow airflow.
  • Rinse the seeds thoroughly twice a day, ideally in the morning and evening, by flushing them with water and draining well each time.
  • Green lentil sprouts typically start showing growth within 1-2 days. Allow them to grow to your desired length, usually 1-2 inches, within 3-5 days.
  • For slightly greener sprouts, expose them to indirect sunlight for a few hours on the final day to encourage chlorophyll development.
  • When the sprouts reach the desired length, give them a final rinse and drain thoroughly. Use clean scissors to cut the sprouts just above the seeds.
  • After harvesting, pat the sprouts dry using clean paper towels and store them in a breathable container or plastic bag in the refrigerator. Consume within a few days for freshness.
  • Adjust soaking times, rinsing frequency, or exposure to light to experiment with the taste, texture, and appearance of green lentil sprouts.
  • Ensure all equipment used in sprouting is thoroughly cleaned before and after use to prevent contamination and promote healthy sprout growth.
  • Before soaking, carefully inspect the green lentils to remove any debris, discolored or damaged seeds. Rinse them thoroughly under running water to ensure they’re clean.
  • Experiment with soaking times to find the ideal duration for your taste preference. Shorter soaking times (6-8 hours) may result in crisper sprouts, while longer soaking (up to 12 hours) may yield longer sprouts.
  • Ensure the sprouting container has proper drainage to prevent waterlogging. Use a container with drainage holes or a tilted tray to facilitate water drainage.
  • Use a gentle rinsing technique to avoid damaging the delicate sprouts. A fine mist or gentle flow of water is suitable for rinsing the sprouts thoroughly.
  • Maintain consistent room temperature (around 70°F or 21°C) during the sprouting process. Avoid placing the sprouts in direct sunlight to prevent dehydration.
  • Taste the green lentil sprouts during the growth process to monitor their flavor. Adjust the growing time or harvest based on your preference for sprout length and taste.
  • When harvesting green lentil sprouts, use clean scissors to trim them just above the seeds. Rinse the harvested sprouts gently to remove any hulls or debris.
  • Plan staggered sprouting batches every few days to maintain a continuous supply of fresh sprouts, ensuring a steady harvest for consumption.
  • Incorporate green lentil sprouts into a variety of dishes such as wraps, soups, omelets, or as a topping for pizzas and baked dishes. They offer a nutty flavor and a crunchy texture.
  • Thoroughly clean and sanitize all sprouting equipment after each use to prevent the growth of bacteria or mold, maintaining a healthy sprouting environment.
