Lentil sprouts. These are REALLY good! Why have I not discovered their goodness before? Beats me! :confused:

As a kid my Dad would make Lentil Soup and yeah, he had part of animal in there. UGH! I detested that, but these are sweet!

I grabbed a handful and threw them into my sauerkraut salad and were they good!

thanks for this info. Alissa's Lentil Cups have been highly recommended, so I am going to try this.

Can you sprout any kind of lentils? I haven't heard of French lentils. What are they like?

Thanks for making us drool for lentil sprouts!! :D
Yeah, I discovered that I love to sprout now and it's no big deal! So lentil beans are next. Thanks a bunch!!

the french lentil is a bit smaller and darker green than the regular ones, and tastes a bit better and less 'chalky' than regular lentils imo.

Another fun fact - I finally remembered why I had to stop eating them last year... They cause fat loss! I was on-my-deathbed sick and skinny last year and couldn't gain weight and was allergic everything so I was eating a lot of lentil sprouts 'til I read that they cause your body to burn fat...

And I recently gained a little too much fat from overdoing the fruits, and have already noticed some of it shrinking since eating lentil sprouts this week. I'm almost back up to normal weight, but I really want it to be muscle instead of fat! So all of you trying to lose weight, eat your lentil sprouts!:D

I like to make hummus with sprouted lentils (using Alissa's recipe and just substituting lentils for garbanzos) - it is delicious, and the lentils sprout so quickly!

[stellaJewels]

Good idea rev! I never thought of that one and I LUV hummus, and the zuke one is good but I sometimes want that beany taste... Thanks!;)

Glad you discovered them...aren't they delish? I find them so easy to sprout, too.
