What are the benefits of eating sprouts?
Sprouts are known to be low in calories and rich in nutrients. Indeed, the sprouting process contributes to increased nutrient levels by breaking down some of the starch. This makes sprouts richer in manganese, protein, magnesium, and vitamins than non-germinated plants.
Sprouting will also break down phytate, a form of phytic acid that can decrease the absorption of minerals and vitamins in the body.
In addition to this, sprouts offer a number of health benefits. They improve blood sugar pressure, lower risks of heart disease, and improve digestion.
Bon appétit!

Sprouted Lentils Salad
1 - Add the eggs into a saucepan (or like us a saucier pan) and cover them with cold water. Then, bring it to a boil. Once the water starts boiling, cook the eggs for 10 minutes. Once cooked, transfer them to a bowl filled with cold water.

2 - Dice the tomatoes, the yellow bell pepper, and the apple. Set them aside.
Tip: We recommend you use a chef's knife for this task. We love Japanese knives and recommend this quality kit from GLOBAL for home and professional chefs. We also love this reversible cutting board with integrated hand grips from John Boos.
3 - Peel and dice the cucumber with a peeler and the avocado with a knife before setting them aside.
Tip: We store our ingredients in these mixing bowls and mini glass bowls from Duralex while cooking. We love Duralex for their quality products and low prices!
