@amy-goodrich many thanks for the useful blog. It's nice to watch the pulses sprout one step at a time.
We, in India use the sprouted pulses quite regularly. It could be a plain salad or steamed with spices. Sprouted pulses are always very nutritious and tasty.

We sprout it in a different way. Old tradition handed down by grandma is that we soak the pulses overnight I.e. about 12 hours or more.
Then drain the water completely.
Then lay down a clean cotton towel on the kitchen table.
Spread the damp pulses over the towel.
Slowly wrap it and tie it tightly making a ball of it.
Tie a knot at the neck of the cotton towel ball with pulses in it.
Let it rest for about 10-12 hours.
Remove the knot and spread the towel. The pulses should be well sprouted by now ready for the salad.
It's a traditional method handed down in our family, here in India.
But then, different path leads to same destination.
Thanks for your cool post.
