Properties of pink lentil sprouts

• Lentils are the seeds of a leguminous plant known and cultivated since ancient times, and today widely spread all over the world.
  If lentils are known for their high protein and iron content, these nutritional contents in their sprouts are further amplified by virtue of the germination process: 100g of lentil sprouts contain 9g of protein, with sufficient quantities of all essential amino acids, and 3.2mg of iron (18% of the recommended daily allowance).
• For this reason, they are particularly suitable for vegetarians and, more generally, as an alternative to a meat or fish dish.
• Lentil sprouts are also an excellent source of vitamin C, vitamin B1, folic acid, and mineral salts such as phosphorus, manganese, zinc and potassium.
