When you strive for a healthy and vital lifestyle, you are constantly looking for ways to enrich your meals with high-quality nutrients. A monotonous diet can sometimes lead to a lack of energy and balance. Peuleschil Organic Mountain Lentils offer you the opportunity to easily grow your own young sprout vegetables at home. These organic lentil sprouts are an excellent and responsible addition to your daily routine and support your overall vitality and well-being.
Mountain lentils undergo a transformation during soaking and rinsing where enzymes are activated and complex nutrients are converted into lighter, easily digestible forms. This natural process ensures that the sprouts become a concentrated source of life force. By giving the sprouts sufficient air and water, they quickly grow into a nutritious addition that helps support your body.

Organic mountain lentils
1. Place one to two tablespoons of seeds in a preserving jar and add plenty of lukewarm/warm water. [Any glass jar is suitable, provided it is large enough (min. 1.5 litres) and the neck is not (too) constricted.]
2. Secure a piece of plastic or fibreglass fly screen over the jar using a sturdy (postman's) elastic band. Preferably do not use aluminium fly screen as this is sometimes treated against insects.
3. Drain the water after the indicated soaking time¹, rinse the seeds, and drain the water again.
4. Place the jar at room temperature, tilted upside down in a colander, rack, or container so that excess water can drain away.
[It is important that all water can drain away; the water that remains on the sprouts is sufficient to keep the germination process going. It is also important that the seeds/sprouts do not cover the entire mesh. For a good result, it is of great importance that there is sufficient air supply. Therefore, distribute the seeds/sprouts along the length of the jar after each rinse.]
Do not place the jar with seeds/sprouts on the heater or in direct sunlight!
5. Rinse the seeds/sprouts approximately 3 times a day during the indicated cultivation period², and always place the jar back tilted upside down afterwards.
6. After the very last rinse*, let the sprouts dry in the jar (tilted upside down) at room temperature for at least 18 hours before consuming them and/or putting them in the fridge.
* If desired, the last rinse can be replaced by a 'washing action' to remove the hulls from the sprouts:
-Fill a small basin or similar to the brim with lukewarm/warm water.
-Place the sprouts in this and 'wash' them loose.
-Skim off the hulls by 'waving' them over the edge of the basin.
-Scoop the sprouts out of the water by hand and put them back in the jar.
-Reattach the mesh, place the jar tilted upside down, and let it dry at room temperature for at least 18 hours.
Store remaining sprouts chilled (max. 7°C) and sealed (not airtight).
¹ Soaking time: ± 10 hours
² Cultivation period: ± 4 days
Store in a dry, sealed place in the dark. Sprout vegetables serve as a supplement to a varied, balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.
