Lentil sprouts are an excellent source of iron, magnesium and vitamin C, and they strengthen teeth.
Sprouts are considered a vitamin bomb. And for good reason. During germination, the nutrients stored in the seeds are converted into substances easily absorbed by the body—vitamins and minerals, nutritional proteins, enzymes, and unsaturated fatty acids. Sprouts are a treasure trove of valuable nutrients and have almost no calories. You can add them to salads, soups, and cottage cheese, and sprinkle them on sandwiches. It's best to eat them raw, because that's when they're at their most beneficial. Only legume sprouts need to be boiled.
