Organic Lentils

Organic lentils, botanically known as Vicia lens, develop sprouts and microgreens in just a few days. They have long, crunchy stems and a delicate, slightly bitter flavor. Rich in protein, vitamins, and fiber, they're a perfect variety for those just starting out in growing and eating sprouts and microgreens.


How can I grow them?

Producing organic lentil sprouts is quick and easy, even at home.
As a first step, we recommend soaking the seeds in cold water for 6-8 hours; this will help them sprout more quickly and evenly. After this time, drain them and return them to the container; continue rinsing and draining the water thoroughly a couple of times a day. In just 3-4 days, your organic lentil sprouts will be ready to enjoy.


How can I eat them?

Organic lentil sprouts are the perfect choice for those who want to add color, nutrition, and flavor to their dishes. Thanks to their delicate, earthy, slightly bitter flavor and crunchy texture, they're excellent used raw in salads, sandwiches, or as an accompaniment to soups.


Organic lentil seeds may contain traces of soy, mustard, wheat, gluten, and grasses.

Store the seeds in a cool, ventilated place, with a temperature between 8° and 20° C, protected from atmospheric agents, changes in humidity and direct sunlight.
