Awesome idea. I'll bet fresh basil would go very well too. I'll let you know. I have lots of fresh basil..... and the K9's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It usually only takes maybe 4 hours or so. So while you are getting everything else ready and doing your laundry or dishes you can let it soak. Every so often fluff it up with a fork or spoon. or stir it up so it all gets soaked. After all the liquid is soaked up then add your veggies and spices. I like to add my spices in about an hour before I add the veggies. -- Peace, love and light, Don Quai " Spirit sleeps in the mineral, breathes in the vegetable, dreams in the animal and wakes in man.

Most of them you can just soak overnight and then sprout for a day and eat them raw. But those dang little green French lentils are tough. They don't soak easily and are quite hard even after sprouting. But they sure are good. -- Peace, love and light, Don Quai " Spirit sleeps in the mineral, breathes in the vegetable, dreams in the animal and wakes in man.
