This method is very simple. Soak beans in water for 8 to 12 hours. Place a reasonable quantity in litre jars, place jars in a dark place, rinse every 12 hours and let grow. To remove the unsightly husks rinse periodically in a pot of water and remove the brown seed casings. I process seven jars at a time, and eat a bowl for breakfast daily as a supplement. The growing beans are kept in darkness to prevent the formation of Chlorophyll (green colour).This is simply a preference. It takes about four days to finish growing.The finished product may be eaten raw or cooked. I prefer a few minutes cooking in a bit of butter and a dash of soy sauce. Healthy? You be the judge.

I used to do those beans before. Be careful when rinsing to use a screen over the jar. I had some escape on me. They grew inside the drain pipe and blocked it. Easy to clean out however.

(But seriously, I sprouted mung beans for many months but eventually got to hate that bitter aftertaste so I gave up the ghost.) My method was I had a couple quart fishnet nylon bag that I put the beans in and dunked the bag in a potful of cold water in the fridge and drained merely by pulling the bag out and changing the water. Easy Peasy. I once tried SOY bean sprouts...they were truly repulsive tasting. Edited by Trotsky, May 3 2012, 08:06 AM.
