Remember how you always saw your mum or grandma or if you've never been a kitchen ninja then your helper soak all your lentils before cooking them?
In our household, most lentils are soaked a night before.I wondered, wah, what planning! Well, there was more to it that just planning. It was actually healthy!
What if i just wanted to pressure cook it a little more rather than soak it?
For one, it tastes way better if they are soaked overnight and two, soaking actually initiates a chemical reaction in them. This chemical reaction apparently improves the quality of antioxidants, phytoestrogens, vitamins and minerals found in lentils/pulses. One step further is sprouting them. Oh sprouting! Sprouting is like that special superfood process that truly brings out the best in these little dots. Sprouting definitely enhances the iron content, is better digested and broken down in the body and sprouting, researchers say, is the one method that helps the body fight cancers. Especially breast & prostrate.
See here's the way i see it. If you can soak & sprout it and consume it, you'll get a better dose of healthy stuff. More healthy stuff=less junky stuff. Less junky stuff= a sexier you.
That wasn't such a complicated formula was it?
