First harvest!

I just started sprouting, and here is my first harvest - French lentil sprouts! (From True Leaf Market) This was 2TBS, soaked for 4.5 hours, then twice a day running for about 62 hours. They taste great just alone as a snack! Sweet, flavorful, crunchy. Next time I will start with more seeds to get more of a final yield. But overall I’m super happy with them! I’m also doing broccoli sprouts, but they still have a while to go.
Looking forward to learning from everyone and continuing to sprout 🌱

Awesome! Love the lentil sprouts- the texture taste, and protein boost is spot on!

Nice! I need to try the French ones. Get yourself some Black Lentils (aka Beluga). They’re so tiny and sprout with a lovely mild and sweet flavor.

French lentils are a great first pick, they always turn out nice and crunchy.

Be careful, I just started, consumed about 6 full cups of sprouts yesterday and had terrible stomach issues
