It could be that the lentils were "dead" and unable to sprout. I have had mixed results with seeds of unknown origins and because of that I stick to organic brands whenever they are available. That way I know that they haven't been treated with anything that would render them unsproutable.<br /><br />Have you tried sprouting quinoa or buckwheat? Both sprout very easily and quickly. If I were even in a situation where fresh vegetables were unavailable and I had some of these grains or legumes, I would be able to grow sprouts in a matter of hours or days! cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07822532607760198861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7102656235706879890.post-24644904051294133262012-09-06T04:18:11.220-07:002012-09-06T04:18:11.220-07:00I've tried sprouting some things but I kind of...I've tried sprouting some things but I kind of get lazy then don't do it for a long time. I really should more, I know it's so good for you. Thanks for the reminder and great information. The link you added was great (how to sprout). I've dug some cheesecloth out of my bottom cupboard and will start some today! <br /><br />I've been able to find all kinds of dried 'things' in the foreign foods isle (middle eastern or Indian) and tried sprouting them. I got a huge bag of Chick Peas and was able to sprout them easily, then made hummus out of it, oh YUM!! I found this one called "Skinless Matpe Beans" I think a type of lentil. It's loaded with nutrition but when I tried to sprout it just got 'stinky', sigh. Any advice on this? Have you ever heard of it? It has 17g of fibre, 51% calcium and 14% iron!! I want to include things like that in my diet but don't know what to do with it!<br />Thanks for your great posts!Mary McAndrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04395679637846393350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7102656235706879890.post-2350219989847478632012-09-02T18:25:40.070-07:002012-09-02T18:25:40.070-07:00this sounds great!

I have always been a fan of sprouted mustard cress, alfalfa sprouts, bean sprouts, pea shoots, etc. This is not all that different, and I am thinking they are not only uber healthy, but also super delish! That gRAWnola looks fantastic. I may just try it out. Don't fall over or anything, lol. Love you! Sorry I missed you today, perhaps we can connect tomorrow! I sure hope so! Love you! xxooMarie Raynerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00407913432222377267noreply@blogger.com
