Lentils: First Stage.
So far, I have sprouted mung beans and lentils but there are various other beans and seeds that can be sprouted. My next sprouting adventure will be broccoli seeds from the New Pioneer Food Co-op.
Even if you don't have much of a green thumb, sprouting beans is pretty much foolproof. What I love most about sprouting is the easiness and the quick yield. It's especially great having fresh food stuffs in the winter time.
Mung Beans
What you will need:
cheesecloth
rubberband
mason jar / large jar
1/4 C lentils or mung
1. Rinse your beans and soak them overnight or for at least 4 hours. Fill jar so that the water covers all of the beans.
2. Drain the beans through the cheesecloth and fill the jar again. Shake and drain the water.
3. Repeat the rinsing every morning and every night for about 5 days or until desired length of
sprouts.
4. Remove cheesecloth. Store in fridge in an airtight container, preferably glass.
5. Cook sprouts in stir fry, throw them on salads, sandwiches, etc.
