"COOL BEANS N SPROUTS" Brand. All about your Red Lentil Microgreen! To reap the health benefits of microgreens, eat them immediately after harvest. Microgreens, like most other superfoods that are consumed fresh, begin to lose their nutritional value rapidly after harvest. Consider growing your own microgreens at home as this will allow you to decide exactly when you harvest your crop. Microgreens are young vegetable greens that are approximately 1–3 inches (2.5–7.5 cm) tall. They have an aromatic flavor and concentrated nutrient content and come in a variety of colors and textures. Microgreens are considered baby plants, falling somewhere between a sprout and baby green. Red lentil sprouts are small – only 5-6 mm in diameter. They grow a bit bigger during the cultivation, but only a few mm in width. The thin seed capsule is brownish and underneath it the lens is a beautifully red orange tone. Red lentils grow two white sprout tips. One is the root. The other is the stem. The stem is completely white inside the lens and becomes a little greenish at the top after 2-3 days. Red lentil sprouts have a mild taste, that is the most neutral tasting of all the lentil varieties. Lentils are full of protein and vitamins such as: A, B2, B3, B5, B6, B9, & C. You can eat them raw, which adds a nice crunch to your dish, or blanch them for a minute to soften them both in texture and in taste.
