How to Eat Organic French Green Lentils
Organic French lentils taste amazing in chilies and stews. Since they retain shape instead of turning mushy, it helps define the taste of some familiar dishes. The peppery flavor of the lentils gives an exciting addition to many savory recipes. You can cook organic French lentils in large portions and store them in the fridge for up to a week. Add cooked lentils to salads or hummus, or mix them with other beans, onion, and spices to make veggie burgers. French Organic Lentils are also used in light soups where the firm texture of the legume is prominent. Organic French lentils don’t have to be pre-soaked before cooking. Rinse through with cold water, bring to a boil, and simmer for 20-30 minutes. Add seasoning at the end of the cooking process.
How to Sprout Lentils at Home
- Yields approximately 3 cups (1/2 lb.) of sprouts. Prep 3 tablespoons of lentils, then transfer into a bowl or into your sprouter. Add 2-3 times as much cool (60°-70°) water. Mix lentils up to assure even water contact for all.
- Allow lentils to soak for 6-12 hours. Empty the lentils into your sprouter (if necessary). Drain off the soak water. Rinse thoroughly with cool (60°-70°) water. Drain thoroughly! Set your sprouter anywhere out of direct sunlight and at room temperature (70° is optimal) between rinses. Ensure sufficient air-circulation is provided.
- Always be sure to drain very thoroughly. The most common cause of inferior sprouts is inadequate drainage. Rinse and drain again every 8-12 hours for 3 days.
Enjoy your home-made sprouts!
