Organic Crimson-Lentil Sprouting Seeds
These Organic Crimson-Lentil Sprouting Seeds produce beautiful salmon coloured sprouts. They make a nice snack when sprouted for about 3 days, or they can be sprouted and cooked. They are an attractive addition to salads.
Crimson lentils are known as masoor dal in India. Try sprouted crimson lentils in any recipe that calls for masoor dal! The plant likely originated in India, and lentils have been part of the human diet since ancient times, being one of the first crops domesticated in the Near East.
