Sprouts sprouting insanely fast???

ok I bought some lentils from a bulk bin at winco, decided to try and sprout some in a plastic bowl with a lid, as I love lentil sprouts... aaaaand they have started sprouting, in about two hours... only a little at this point, but noticeable...this is weird, ive never had lentils sprout this fast in my life?! could it be that I soaked them in water for about an hour be4 draining them? I normally just soak for a couple minutes, then drain, and soak for a couple minutes 3-4 times a day...they normally dont start sprouting for me for a day or two...

longer soaking for sure helps with sproouting it softens the seed coat and activates the grow response smiling smiley (think spring rains) smiling smiley

Monsatan brand, perhaps? God help us if that's true. Tomorrow there will be creatures swings in the sprouts like a jungle!

Thanks to everyone that has shared their feedback w/regards to sprouting as growing my own sprouts is all new to me and I am very excited to start growing my own spouts here in my own apartment. Also; later on I will be sharing additional materials using food grade hydrogen peroxide when growing your home grown sprouts and vegetables as well which you can purchase food grade hydrogen peroxide via the internet which is not the same grade as the hydrogen peroxide you purchase at your local grocery store or drug store. There is also caution when you use food grade hydrogen peroxide which will be explained in detail in the article I will be sharing.

Actually; my ultimate goal is to eat all raw foods and remove cooked foods from my daily diet.

I have been doing some ongoing research via the net on enzymes as well which has become very exciting research work for me. It is my opinion; most people are not being educated w/regards to ENZYMES. I read a very interesting eBook entitled: HOW DO ENZYMES WORK IN YOUR BODY? By bestselling nutritional author STEPHNEY A. LANGFORD.I believe everyone should read this eBook which is formated as a PDF file which is an easy download; so they will better understand how enzymes work and why our body absolutely needs them. Go check it out at the following link just below.

If you are interested; I have some additional research materials on enzymes which is very educational as well. Let me know by sending me an eMail at
Donna Barcus drayb.resources@gmail.com and add the word enzymes in the subj line so I will not mistakenly delerte or overlook your eMail.


And if you have any research materials you are willing to share on enzymes or other ongoing health relate issues; please do share.

Thank you and I hope everyone has a bless day.

We have 15 varieties of high quality sprouting seeds including crimson and french lentils. I would suggest using a natural hemp bag for your lentils. I have great results everytime. No worry of mold and they can be stored in the hemp bag in the refrigerator.

Take care,
