Green Lentils are a light or dark brown disc shaped seed, larger than the brown lentil. Well known as a nutritious cooked food there is more Iron and Copper in the sprouts. By sprouting legumes you neutralize phytic acid and lectins, which means more vitamins and minerals can be absorbed by your body as they are digested. Sprouting increased the amount of vitamins and minerals in the lentils, especially B vitamins and Carotene.
