Lentils, Crimson
Lentils, Crimson
Beautiful salmon coloured sprouts. Make a nice snack when sprouted for about 3 days, or can be sprouted and cooked. An attractive addition to salads.
- Days to Sprout: 2 - 3 Days
- Soak Time: 6-12 hours
- Yield: 1/2 cup of dry seed yields 2.5 cups of sprouts
- Storage: Our seeds should sprout well for a year after you purchase them, if stored in a cool dry place. If you'd like to extend the germination life of your seeds, store them in the fridge. If you store your seeds in the freezer, they'll last even longer!
Sprouting Direction
Soak: Put approximately 1/4 cup seed in a wide mouth jar with a sprouting lid. Add water, swirl, and drain. Refill jar with water and soak 6-12 hours. Drain well and invert jar at an angle on a sprouting rack, or in a bowl or drain rack.
Rinse: Twice a day, refill jar with cold water, swirl, and drain.
Enjoy! Ready to eat in (2-3) days. Refrigerate to store.
Helpful tip:
- If you notice hard seed after soaking, next time soak longer or use hot water 125F/50C let water cool down while soaking for 4-12hrs. Experiment with what works best.

Very happy with my Mumm's sprouts. A great addition to my salads.
I sprout all my legumes, but with these usually only for 2 days max, then I cook them in a pressure cooker for 3-4 minutes. They are so flouvourful on their own and awesome in brownies instead of flour. (blackbean brownies, but lentils instead) We try to have some ready to eat in the fridge all the time.
Great sprouting seeds and one of my fav so far
I bought 2 kilos of lentils (crimson and black), that's how good they are. You can start eating them after a couple of days or keep growing them a few more days until they are quite green. The seeds are large, soft and tasty. The larger seed supports the growth period longer than small seeds. Also, there are no hulls to contend with which makes them a winner. =^]
