After your lentils have had their beauty sleep, drain them in a colander. Do this over the sink, not your head. I speak from experience. Rinse them again under cool water. This washes away the released sugars that cause gas. Yes, you are literally rinsing away future embarrassment. Your digestive system will throw a parade.
Now, look at them. They’ve doubled in size. They’re plump, smooth, and ready to become soup, stew, or curry. You’ve done it. You’ve performed a small miracle of food science. Give yourself a slow clap.
