Organic Red Lentil Sprout Seed - The most common type of organic red lentil sprout seed is the Red Chief. Organic Lentil sprouts are high in fiber, protein and amino acids, vitamins A, C, B complex and E, iron, calcium and phosphorous. Raw organic red lentil sprouts can be a bit peppery to the taste. Organic Red Lentil Sprout Seeds make a good substitute for celery or green pepper in salads, soups and vegetable combinations. Organic Red Lentil Sprouts soup is hearty and nutritious and was a staple food of the middle east in biblical times.

Test your soil with a soil pH tester. Lentils grow best at a soil pH of 6.0 to 8.0.
Find the best location to plant. Lentils grow best on level or slightly rolling land, which drains well.
Sow your seedlings using a garden spade early in spring. Work the soil while moist and when the soil is warm enough to stimulate germination.
Plant seedlings 1 to 1 1/2 inches deep in moist, but not wet, soil. You can plant them a bit deeper in well-draining soil.
Watch your lentil plants grow. On average they reach 1 to 2 1/2 feet high, with pods that usually hold two lentil seeds each.
Harvest them around mid-July when seeds mature and your soil dries. Lentils are drought tolerant and can grow under fairly dry conditions, although they do require a minimum of 6 inches of rain or watering during the entire growing season.
