Kathryn Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 does one need to rinse the Lentils ? if yes, for how long ? Just a quick rinse. More important is to pick out any stones that may have been missed by the hulling equipment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crashnburn Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 does one need to rinse the Lentils ? if yes, for how long ? Yes. rinse a couple of times.. thoroughly since there is a possibility of fertilizer, pesticide or some kind of insect repellent.. (as per my mom) To rise lentils faster use a pressure cooker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
