Directions

Lentil sprouts are an excellent source of dietary fibre and low fat protein, Native Americans have cultivated beans since 700 BC. To achieve a complete protein combine sprouts with eggs, dairy or nuts. Sprouting can improve the nutritional profile of beans and grains especially Vitamin C and B. It is this Vitamin C that makes lentil sprouts a powerful antioxidant. They are also packed with zinc, copper and potassium. Stored in your refrigerator sprouts should keep for up to a week. Rinse under cold water to refresh if necessary.

INSTRUCTIONS: Mix all ingredients in a bowl, mix in dressing and add mint before serving.

The vegetables are fresh and mainly local and delivery is reliable. I've been using Bridgefoot Organic for over 20 years. Very happy with the service and produce. I was especially grateful at the beginning of the 1st lockdown. Thank you!
