TIPS FOR YOUR GREEN LENTIL
SPROUTS
SOAKING
Your Green lentil for sprouts will absorb their weight in water during soaking. Because of this, you need to submerse them in a glass with 1 part dry lentils to 4 parts clean, cool drinking water.
The Green lentil will slowly turn a lighter shade of red/brown as they get filled with moist. After 8 hours they should all be about twice as big and have a flat sound when you pour them into the SproutPearl.
If the sound is sharp, then the lentils have not absorbed enough water.

ENJOY GREEN LENTIL SPROUTS RAW
Once you have cultivated your organic green lentils for sprouts into their mature state – when their white root is 0,5-1 cm long – you can eat them.
