Re: The nutritional value of sprouted lentils!
Insha'Allah tomorrow night for dinner I am going to have the lentils I sprouted with some tilapia fillets. I have some pictures in Aisha's thread about how to sprout lentils. I may lay them on a plate and put some sort of dressings on it then lay the fish on it. I will take a picture tomorrow Insha'Allah and post it here..
