Full AnswerHi Tiff, I love lentil soup. Can lentils be sprouted for salads and such?? Duane. Tiffany Answers: Hello Duane, what a great question to ask as we approach the month of March and Springtime air. Tender sproutlets of grains, beans, and seeds are known to be the ultimate Springtime food as they replenish our bodies with energy and vital nutrients.

Most nutritious if sprouted to half and inch but tastier if allowed to grow longer. I recommend 3/4 cup to one Quart of sprouts.
