They produced something that looked like brown fruit flies floating in the water. I'm wondering if they actually were flies or if they could have been a remaining part of the lentil skin that was shed during the sprouting process. The brown item appears to come from the area where the sprout emerges from the bean. I sprouted some red lentils which were skinned but not split.

Quite good. Linda: It happens naturally. The bean has to open up for the sprout to emerge. And in the process, the soaked and loose brown skin slips down a little bit. In orange-brown shade, they make quite attractive sprouts. Raaga: Yes, I prepared a sundal/guggullu style salad and also a usal/stew with them for the weekend. Supriya: Simple and tasty is right.

I use a fair amount of washed masoor, and now you're tempting me to get the whole just for some sprouts. I have to know -- did those orange centers peek through accidentally or did you work your magic to get them partially open :) I love your sprouts series, Indira.
