Organic Sprouted Whole Lentils

Lentils are small, lens-shaped legumes that grow on a bushy plant. Organic sprouted whole lentils are whole lentils that have begun to germinate (sprout) before being dried or processed. Sprouting can change the nutritional profile and digestibility of the lentil.

Manufacturers use sprouted lentils to add fiber, protein, and a slightly nutty flavor to foods. They are often found in baked goods like bread, cereals, and snack bars, contributing to texture and nutritional value.

Lentils are a source of plant-based protein, fiber, and various micronutrients. The sprouting process may increase the bioavailability of some nutrients. Regulatory bodies like the FDA consider lentils a safe food ingredient. There are no specific health concerns associated with the consumption of lentils at typical dietary levels. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated lentils as a food source.
