How to Sprout Mung Beans - Step by Step Instructions

Mung bean sprouts are easy to make in less than two days. Watch for step-by-step instruction, and you don't need any special equipment or seeds for it to work!

Mung sprouts in 6 steps
1. Soak mung beans in a bowl of cold water for 12 hours or more.
2. Drain off all the water. Rinse 2-3 times. Leave the beans in the bowl.
3. Cover the bowl with a clean tea towel and leave for 8 hours.
4. Rinse sprouts in water and drain off water carefully. Give the sprouts a shake, so that the same sprouts are not stuck on the bottom of the bowl.
5. Cover again for 8 hours, then rinse and shake.
6. Repeat step 5 until the tails are about ½-inch long. (If you continue sprouting longer than 2-3 days, you risk mold.)

Sprouting magic! Have you ever tried this, or is it your first sprouting adventure?

I just bought these same your seeds here 3:11 from the market but I really don't know whether to eat them like this or cook them

[wendymorris]

When you soak and cover them for 12 hours, do you keep them out of the refrigerator at that time?

Wash them good to start with and drink that water after you soak them 8 to 12 hour. It is good for you. What do you think about that?

i just saw churck norris mention mung beans a great food. I was wondering can I buy the dry sprouts and use them in cooking without sprouting them? Can I cook them in a pressure cooker and use in foods like I do with cooked beans? Thank you
