Lentils
First grown as a crop for human consumption in the Neolithic period in the Ancient Near East, lentils have been a staple of the human diet for thousands of years. Sprouting the lentils reduces the anti-nutrients, thus increasing nutritional value and digestibility. These organic sprouted lentils can be eaten raw on a salad, cooked in soup and stews, or used in other dishes. Hello plant protein!
