Lentils do not require soaking, so they can be prepared quickly. They have a pleasantly mild, earthy flavor perfect for soups and stews, and are even a great substitute for meat in tomato sauce. Dried lentils can be sprouted by soaking in water for one day and keeping moist for several days, which changes their nutrition profile and reduces undesirable phytic acid.
