I'm curious. Have you tried sprouted lentils? The problem for me is that I don't get immediate reactions that I notice from these things so I depend on those who do to know what is inflammatory. My risk is for heart disease and inflammation in that system proceeds silently.Laura said:Even when I soak them and wash the heck out of them, lentils inflame me.

I soak them overnight, and then throw on unbleached paper towel or folded cheese cloth on a colander. Then, cover with the same kind of paper towel / cheese cloth, rinse, and set aside over a bowl in a warm place. The key is to keep them moist by sprinkling water over, without letting them actually sit in water and rot. The sprouts will be ready in 2 days. You can eat them raw or cook in a soup / dahl.
