Can you still eat the lentil soup if you did not rinse the lentils?

In: Food & Cooking [Edit categories]

Answer:

Yes, I would be willing to eat it. . Cooking will kill any germs. Washing removes dirt and grit that might be present, but the sand will sink to the bottom of the bowl and I doubt you will have enough water-soluble soil to taste. So if it tastes good, eat it.
