Fast, Cheap ’n Easy Sprouted Lentils

Tomatoes are a great way to add lycopene to any meal. Cooking tomatoes releases the lycopene from the fibers of the tomato, making it easier for your body to absorb it. Lycopene has been shown to prevent cancer, and can also be found in other red fruits and vegetables, such as red carrots, watermelons and papayas.
