If you sprout them they will be easier to digest.

I'm using them in a curry so no I'm not going to "sprout" them, whatever the fuck that means.

This website lists the sum of raffinose and stachyose as 2.2%, citing OSU
http://www.newtreatments.org/fromweb/fos.html

This study found 1.9% in their sample
https://www.parrots.org/pdfs/our_publications/psittascene/2012/extras/sprouting/mung%20bean%20sprouts.pdf

These values are similar to other legumes and will lead to flatulence.

Soaking reduced the levels to 1.5%, soaking and boiling to 1.3%. Sprouting reduced the value to 0%.

The beans in the study were soaked uncooked, however soaking after a short boil is more effective because it destroys the cell walls first. Of course then you still have to boil again for 15 minutes to destroy lectins.

You sprout them like you would any seeds-
- soak 24-48 hrs
- keep damp but not submerged in water
- rinse occasionally
- the lentils should sprout after a few days

Sprouting the lentils shouldn't change anything that has to do with how you cook them. You don't need to sprout them to where they have long taproots; a tiny rootlet just poking out is fine.

Did you try it op?
