About Lentil sprouts
Lentil sprouts are germinated lentil seeds, usually harvested with short roots and shoots. They are eaten raw or briefly cooked, often added to salads, sandwiches and stir-fries. The sprouts are small and moist, with a tender, crisp texture and a mild, fresh, legume-like flavour.
Their size and texture vary with the lentil variety, growing conditions and harvest stage. They may be sold fresh or refrigerated, and can also be cooked before eating. Lentil sprouts are distinct from dry lentils, cooked lentils and lentil-derived flours or protein products.
