Vielen dank! I’m following this so I can make the sprouted lentil salad recipe you uploaded. It’s gonna be awesome! 🤗🌱

I have something to share I just came up with based on standard mason jar and the single open ring and by using the common strainers that are nylon mesh in all wallmarts that come in a set real cheap. they are nylon not stainless steel mesh and are often used for making kefir to strain out the grains. Which is why I had so many extra screens to sacrifice some.

Choose a clear mason jar so you can see the sprouts. take one of the large nylon strainers the 4.5 inch one. take a sharp knife and run it along the edges and sacrifice the plastic handle and circle part to get the nylon mesh. Put in lentils after soaking or you likely can simply use the same mason jar. take the nylon mesh and place it over top of jar. Use the mason ring and it screws right on and you have perfect mesh on top of the jar. No need to tighten it down hard and it does not crush the mesh. You can run water in to do the rinse and simply pour the water back out through the mesh. When sprouted simply take off the ring and mesh.

It does not allow them being spread out like in pan but could be rotated if you are there most of the time

I made a sprouted lentil Mediterranean soup that is amazing!!! I Sprouted one bag and it has made three huge pots of soup and enough additional sprouts for salads and sandwiches! Yum yum yum.

I’m making these for my 4 chickens. Very cheap, but very nutritious for them. I ate a few that are sprouting and they’re delicious! Making a batch for my salads too. 😋

Great video, just good information and no fluff! Thank you.

Let my lentils sit in water too long, they started sprouting, searched the internet to know if sprouting made them toxic to eat. Was not disappointed ! Really well done video by the way, congrats

Hello. Great video, thank you! Once sprouted, I assume you store in the fridge, but how long do they keep for?

Question: how long do you anticipate it would take to sprout in the summer in Miami, Florida?
Danke! :)

Came here to learn how to sprout lentils for my cats to chew, now I might be the one eating them 😅

Hi, I always sprout my grains and lentils - eating raw sprouts in a salad is surely one of the most healthy things to consume. However; what about before cooking? (making different Indian dal curries etc', As in the cooking destroys enzymes and phytonutrients - so should we do it before cooking, or maybe just soaking them in water? Also, maybe it reduces too much the good resistance strach as well - any thoughts?

I sprout my green lentil seeds in a screen covered jar that I place in the refrigerator to slow down the process to keep the sprouts from getting too long and too fibrous....

[ingaseikstule]

Thank you for all good information in such a short and lovely video! I’m off to do it now 😊

Why are they not good to eat anymore if sprouted a little longer? What do you mean by that? I sprouted mine until the tail got about half inch long and a separate sprout with a small green leaf appeared on each. They taste and smell very good, but are they not good for some reason?

[jennifersanteler]

Where do you get your sprouting pans? Thanks!
