Re: I am now totally confused about Lentil Sprouts

[Guest guest]

Melody, ask questions. Check the Gardens Alive catalog to see if there

is an 800 number and call or e-mail them. Ask the weight of the seeds in

US pounds or ounces. So many catalogs list in grams that it is hard to

compare. 33,000 seeds sounds like a lot, but what if they are so tiny

that that is only 1/4 of a pound.

I am now totally confused about Lentil

Sprouts

Date: Sun, 02 Aug 2009 01:28:07 -0000

 

Hi everybody. I shall explain my confusion.

I have, in the past, sprouted lentils. I bought the package of Goya

lentils, I soaked, they sprouted, they got the little tail, etc. etc.

Actually, I have some sitting inside my refrigerator right now.

So why am I confused?

Because today I received a catalogue in the mail from Gardens Alive.

It had a $25.00 gift coupon and if the order was less than $25.00 the

whole order was free.

So I'm glancing through the catalogue and I get to the sprout page.

They don't carry a lot of sprouts, but they have Alfalfa, mung beans

(oh I have a question about that too, but I'll do it after I talk

about the lentil sprouts).

So on 66 of the Catalogue, it says: " ORGANIC SMALL CRIMSON LENTIL

SPROUTS " $4.95 PER PACKET. Approx. 33,000 seeds per packet.

33,000 seeds IN A PACKET OF LENTILS???

In all my days of buying Goya lentils, I have NEVER PURCHASED ANY

PACKAGE OF GOYA LENTILS AND IT HAD 33,000 SEEDS.

So (and you can all stop laughing now), is there a difference between

the lentils I get in the store, and these Organic Small Crimson

Lentil sprouts. In the product description, it says: " Beautiful

Salmon Color " ?????????????????????????

And I found it online at their website:

Here's the link:

http://www.gardensalive.com/product.asp?pn=3063

Now here's my next question.

On page 67 it has Organic mung bean sprouts 3,800 seeds per packet.

I have bought mung beans from the Asian market and there is no way

there are 3,800 seeds inthe pack that I get.

And how big is a packet of mung beans anyway, THAT IT CAN HOLD 3,800

seeds per packet?

See my confusion? Oh I can believe this about the mung beans but

LENTILS, 33,000 seeds of lentils?? No way

lol

Hi EW:

I just went to my order status online, and here is what it says:

" SPROUTS ORGANIC SMALL CRIMSONûLENTILS 4 OZ "

Delivery Estimate: 08/11/09 - 08/15/09

So we know it's 4 oz. Now, can 4 oz of Small crimson lentils, well can it

amount to 33,000 seeds?

And can you clarify if these lentils seeds are the same as the Goya lentils that

I buy in the store?

I have no idea if there are different lentil things being sold.

And what about the crimson color?

See why I'm so confused.

I can't wait to get these to see what they actually look like.

I'll make a video and put it on youtube (before I sprout them I mean)

Hi Melody,

I buy red lentils in the store. They are probably the same thing as

crimson lentils and they do look like the ones on this page, tiny and

pink.

http://www.purcellmountainfarms.com/Petite%20Crimson%20Lentils.htm

Also, check out the Wikipedia page on lentils

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lentil

And this informative one

http://www.foodsubs.com/Lentils.html

I suspect that Goya lentils are a brand name you found them under,

maybe the store only carries one kind they sell, the red ones. Here is

one of the pages the name pulled up

http://www.goya.com/english/products/product.html?prodCatID=1 & prodSubCatID=2

I hope that helps some.

Melody, Sproutpeople offers 7 different lentils, crimson being one of

them. I going to say the the number 33,000 is probably a misprint. I

think that you find that it should be 330. As long as you're getting them

free, go for it. Lets us all know what the truth is. I was just thinking,

I have a #1 bag of tiny broccoli seeds and I'll bet that there is not

33,000 seeds it the bag.

EW:

I just went there and looked at their broccoli sprout seeds. (I had called them

up about this last year just to make sure the size of the packet). the lady said

" 4 oz "

Look at the description of the amount of seeds.

http://www.gardensalive.com/product.asp?pn=3145

I'll be sure and let you know what my order looks like when I get it. Oh, I also

got the liquid kelp. I mean, it was free so why not. It comes in a spray bottle.

I want to add it to my soak water. So what do I do, get a little eye dropper and

put two or three drops in the soak water?

Thanks much for any info.

Hi :

Thanks for all the cool links on the lentils.

What confused me is the photos of the lentil sprouts on the Gardens Alive

website and in their catalogue.

They show the sprouts looking like SPROUTS, like my fenugreek, or my radish.

Lentil sprouts (well, none that I've sprouted), well they don't look like those.

They just have a little tail. Maybe if you sprouted them for 2 weeks, they might

look like regular sprouts but who does this?

I am in LENTIL CONFUSION AT THE MOMENT.

As soon as I get my order of the crimson lentils (which said 33,000 seeds),

believe me, I'll make a video and post it here.

I've sprouted lentils until they have leaves. I don't remember how

long it takes but it's a lot less than 2 weeks. It basically happens

when I am busy with other stuff and don't get around to eating my

lentils so I just keep rinsing them and letting them sprout. I do eat

them when they get like that.

I have red lentils in my kitchen. I'm seriously considering weighing

out 4 ounces and counting how many there are and posting it. Yeah,

it's one of those afternoons. LOL

Okay, they're seriously small and I got seriously bored after counting

600 of them. So I went back and re-weighed and those 600 lentils were

8 grams.

4 ounces = 113.398093 grams

113.398093 / 8 = 14.174762

14.174762 * 600 lentils = 8504.86

So, by my rough count and math there are about 8505 red lentils in four ounces.

Give or take a lentil.

Sparrow

[Guest guest]

All I can say is the red/orange lentils are very small. They will fit thru

my large sprouting screen. They are also bad about splitting and do not

have as good of a sprout rate. I purchase my red/orange lentils at the

Whole foods Market. Could not even guess at how many to an ounce. But lots

more than the green lentils.

You're welcome Melody,

The only sprouting of lentils I do right now are those in the bean

mixes from . I like them but are finding them so high in

carbs that I am cutting back on how many I do at a time. I figure if

it's a lentil it should be good and just go with it.

Hah! Yeah, I thought I would just sit and peacefully count lentils but

the buggers are so small it got to be a pain pretty quickly. Now I

actually could probably sit for a long time and count brown lentils.

Much easier than scooting tiny little itsy bitsy things across the

palm of my hand with a fingernail. LOL!

Sparrow

p.s. looking forward to hearing your sprouting stories with them. I

got my red lentils to sprout but didn't have very good luck with them

at all. I made a soup out of some of them but it wasn't very exciting.

So the bag of lentils just sits in my kitchen now. I keep it in case

some day that bag of red lentils stands between me and starvation. LOL

Virtually microscopic.

Sparrow

[Guest guest]

I would agree with that but the only ones Ihave had trouble getting to

sprout is the red/orange ones and yes a lot of them are split in half. I

bought regular green lentils and either black or blue and they sprouted

fine. I recently at a discount grocery store bought some bags of Organic

green lentils. They sprout just fine.

I believe I read on Sproutpeople.com that the red/orange maybe called

crimson lentils do not have as good of a sprouting rate becuase in the

process of removing the " skin " can not remember what it is called, many of

the lentils split in half.

AHA!!!! I now have learned something new!!!

There are different kinds of lentils. The lentils seeds(which I am getting from

Gardens Alive) are for sprouting, and the lentils I got from Goya (which I also

sprouted), are not for sprouting, BUT FOR COOKING.

So presently, I am awaiting a little packet filled with 33,000 tiny microscopic

seeds of crimson lentils (which have absolutely nothing to do with the Goya

lentils),

And when I sprout these 33,000 tiny microscopic seeds, THEN AFTER THEY SPROUT,

THEY WILL LOOK LIKE MY RADISH OR BROCCOLI SPROUTS??

Did I get this right?

Because if they DON'T LOOK LIKE GOYA LENTILS, (which grow a little tail when

sprouted), then these 33,000 tiny microscopic seeds should sprout and grow green

leaves (like my other sprouting seeds).

NOW SOMEONE TELL ME IF I FINALLY GOT THIS RIGHT?

Yes, Goya is a BIG BRAND. They make everything. including a very very tasty

extra virgin olive oil.

You put a splash of their oil on a sprout salad and you go to heaven.

lol

I AM SO HAPPY THAT I NOW UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LENTIL SEEDS, AND

LENTIL SPROUTS AND PLAIN OLD LENTILS.

Oh, in my local supermarkets, another popular brand is JACK RABBIT (all kinds of

beans and lentils, raw, not in a can)

Same here. I have had no troubles sprouting grocery store lentils,

with the exception of the red ones.

If you're getting tails on your Goya Lentils, you can get leaves. Just

let them sprout a few days longer. Try it and see if you like them

that way. I've eaten them both ways and like them both ways.

Sparrow:

I'm hesitant to sprout more lentils (like the Goya), because I find them very

hard to digest. I have taken beano, but they still give me gas.

I only hope the 33,000 seeds that I'm supposed to be getting, well, I hope they

are more like microgreens (when they sprout), and not like actual lentils.

We shall see!!!

I shall update when this miracle packet arrives.
