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.
