Guess what is coming back into my life…
That’s right, the wonderful (cheap) goodness known as lentil sprouts.
Dried lentils + lots of fresh water + about four days = I dare you to eat this and try to be unhealthy.
Okay, okay. So they’ve never actually made me healthy. But I’ve also only eaten lots of lentil sprouts at times when I couldn’t afford things like vitamins and green leafy vegetables. And Josh is convinced that they are a secret weight-loss food. Which kind of makes sense when you read the nutrition stats and feel how full you, well feel after half a glass of them.
So here’s to Lent lentil sprouts. I dare you to try them.
I wish that I could say that looked even a smidge appetizing. If I did, I would be lying.
My friend, it is called “Lent” for a reason.
Actually, I don’t think this has anything to do with “spring” or whatever etymology has to say about Lent… but penance, penance my friend is the answer to any of your questions about lentil sprouts.
heh
I’ve been so curious about lentil sprouts since I first saw you mention them. Cheap + healthy is very appealing.
I may have lentils in the pantry. I’ll let you know how I feel about them.
I would love to know how you feel about them! I still don’t actually enjoy lentil sprouts, but I like cooked lentils and Josh has somehow learned to like them raw.
I tried quinoa sprouts last week but sprout they did not. I think my apartment is too cold? It said “room temperature water” but the room temperature is 64. Any advice?
