You can eat them sprouted - although the usual practice is to change the water frequently to avoid quite the wrong type of bugs setting up home in your dinner-to-be - and I believe Tahir's mum at least grows/has grown them regularly, here, from shop bought ones.

And as if by magic..

Indeed, it seems Mr T himself is banging a few in this year:

Which reminds me, I tried sprouting a few Puy lentils which I spilt in a dusty part of the kitchen last month purely to see if they were viable. They were. But as a good girl not growing things I don't have room for this year (if I say it often enough I'll start to believe it) I composted them.

They will definitely grow and can stand a little frost too.

I suppose that means you want me to find a place on the lottie for you to plant them...... by the way, how's the recovery going.
