sprouted lentils - eat in raw or steamed ?
Sprouted lentils are soft , crunchy and wonderfully sweet, so I happily munch.. and munch .. it's a healthy snack - sprouted lentils + apples,celery etc...any fruits or vegetables.
But when cooked, the sweetness disappear.
Steam sprouted lentils just 5-10 minutes (don't over steamed to make lentils mushy) mix with olive oil , diced red peppers, chopped sun dried tomatoes and scallions. season with salt, pepper and cumin powder.

retsel mill-rite mill
This mill had been on my wish list for almost ten years, and finally since Feb. 2010 it has been sitting on my kitchen counter. This mill has stone /steel burr conversion. Using stone conversion kit, I can grind any type of wheat from fine to coarse. On the other hand the metal burr conversion kit grinds beans, seeds, herbs from fine to coarse. So I would have , for example very fine corn flower / corn meal to bake corn bread and coarse corn meal for polenta, any time without making a trip to natural food stores. Also I do not need to worried about "How long these packages of corn meal stay on this shelves?" when I shop. Isn't it wonderful?
