Did you know?

When lentils are soaked and sprouted over a few days, the hard texture of the dry seed softens and they can be eaten raw. The figures here are for the raw sprouts.

Consumption tip

Even natural produce may carry pesticide residues. Wash fruits and vegetables under plenty of running water and discard the outer leaves of leafy greens. A short soak in vinegar water can also help reduce residues. Where possible, prefer certified organic or good-agricultural-practice products.
