I have just learned that sprouting your own legumes and pulses is so easy to do. If you are interested in trying it for yourself I would start with green lentils. 

SPROUTED LENTILS

1/4 cup of dried green lentils and a sprouting lid is helpful but not necessary.

To start, simply soak lentils in water overnight. Drain them and rinse well. Place them in a mason jar with sprouting lid (pictured) or a light cheesecloth. Now for the next 3 days (or so) you need to rinse the beans and completely drain before putting them back in the jar. Which is why the lid is so cool, (it cost $4), because you can rinse in the jar and just leave to drain upside down! Ha, I love when things are easy and do-able:) Once you have your lovely green sprouts, cover the jar with a lid and place in the fridge.

They only keep for 2-3 days so have a meal idea for them or just make sure to eat those little treasures up! I say this because I let my first batch go bad while I tried to figure out what cool thing to make with them. What a waste!
