Is it still ok to give LO red lentil soup when I forgot to rinse the red lentils first....thnks girls x

I've never rinsed lentils in my life! Didn't know you were supposed to lol! And i've used them for soups, curries, and to make veggie-burgery things......never had any problems after it :/ but then i've never gave it to an 8 month old so i've no idea sorry!

I would think that boiling for a while would make sure everything was mushed down and any bacteria were killed though.....

Thanks for the reply...ya thats what I was thinking that the heat from cooking would kill any baddies. Its the second meal I've messed up this week x

I would still serve it I thought the rinsing just made it less starchy or something (lentils feel powdery aha)

Well I would not use if not washed and soaked well.... Sorry if u felt bad of my reply... It tends to get more wind if not soaked well.

I think it should be fine. I usually place my lentils in a strainer to rinse any debris off. i would imagine in a soup they would be fine though! xx
