Lentil Sprouts
Does anyone know the carb count of these? I've tried looking online and all
I can find is that there isn't a lot of nutritional information on these. Other legume sprouts seem to have 6-7 grams of total carb per cup with about 2 grams of fiber. I do know that a cup of lentil sprouts has about one serving of protein. I just started pea, lentil and a spicy radish and other small seed sprouts and I can't wait to try them. The lentils already taste good. The peas are a bit bitter. I have a recipe for lentil sprouts that sounds yummy. You mix them with fresh lemon juice, olive oil and chopped chives or green onions. I think chopped tomato would go well with this too, and perhaps some parsley. Can't wait to try it! I am hoping that the sprouts are low enough in carbs that I can eat them for lunch. They seem like the perfect food, offering protein and a small amount of carbs. I am getting tired of having to skip lunch in order for my numbers to be in range by dinner. And my breakfast is usually only a Tablespoon of pumpkin seeds. So as you can imagine, I am very hungry by dinner time. So far the only thing that isn't causing BG trouble between meals is more pumpkin seeds or a little bit of coconut. Another other nuts or veggies I've tried have shot up my BG. Even a stalk of celery is out of the question for me now. -- See my webpage: http://mysite.verizon.net/juliebove/index.htm |

Lately, I have only been sprouting Broccoli sprouts, we both love their taste and they are very healthy. For the small seed sprouts, I just ignore the carbs. For larger seeds, like peas or lentils, I would weigh the seeds before sprouting to get the total carb count. The carb count is unlikely to change much after sprouting. If you know the total carb count and want to be precise, you can weigh the harvest and through some simple math get the carbs per gram. Have you been getting your sprouting seeds on the net? I get mine from http://www.sproutpeople.net/ . There are less expensive places but theirs are always fresh with near 100% germination. Andrea2 |

I'm thinking of going on a raw food diet, but am not sure if it will be 100% raw because I'm just not convinced that this is the way to go. In the meantime, I am looking for more ways to increase the amount of raw food I eat. -- See my webpage: http://mysite.verizon.net/juliebove/index.htm |

I checked with the USDA data base using a piece of software they have for searching it and came up with this. 10 grams of raw lentil sprouts is Carbohyrate by difference is 2.21 for a 100 grams it's 22.14 grams now if some can explain what is meant by Carbohyrate by difference. -- So Say We All, Dale The world wide web at my finger tips and I can't find anything interesting. http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group...BulletinBoard/ |

Carbohydrate by difference is what you have left after you subtract out every thing else. The actual amount of carbs isn't calculated, it's what's left over after the water, fats, nutrients, fiber and protein is measured. Basically, it's just a calculation tool. Somewhere on the website it should say this, but I'm not sure where. HTH Vicki |

Hmmm... I checked mine and it wasn't listed. I must have an old version. And I can't explain that. Nor would telling me 10 grams or 100 grams be meaningful to me.

They measure the amount of protein, fat, water, and ash per 100 grams and subtract the sum of these from 100. In contrast, countries in Europe and Oceania analyze carbohydrate directly, so their carbohydrate figures do not contain unavailable carbohydrate (e.g. fiber), while values for the U.S. and Canada do. Lentils sprouted raw - 1 cup = 17.5 grams carbs by difference Didn't see fiber listed. -- So Say We All, Dale The world wide web at my finger tips and I can't find anything interesting. http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group...BulletinBoard/ |

Accurately determining the carb count in sprouts is really impossible. You can use the carb tables but they are likely to be inaccurate. Most of the carbs in the original seeds would still be present if the seeds remained on the sprout. Sprouts with the seed removed or very mature sprouts would be very low in carbs. The more mature the sprouts, the fewer carbs per gram. 20 grams of original seeds could weigh 20 times that when sprouted. Most of that weight is water. I just ignore the carbs in all small seed or green sprouts. I have sprouted larger seeds, almonds are very good. They are not really sprouts, they call them soaks. The almond seeds are soaked, drained and rinsed several times. The end crop is a swollen almond seed with (maybe) a small root appearing from one end. The weight gain is about 1.5:1. They are very delicious for snacks (IMHO). Beans, pumpkin, sunflower and peas can be sprouted the same way. Sunflower seeds can also be grown as "micro-greens". The seeds are planted in trays of soil and allowed to grow until 1-2 inch green sprouts appear. They are then harvested by cutting them at soil level. They are very low in carbs since any remaining carbs in the seed is cut off. If you are interested in sprouting, you should read the very informative pages of http://www.sproutpeople.net/ . That is where I get my sprouting seeds. Andrea2 |
