INGREDIENTS-
  1. Whole mung beans -1 cup
  2. Water
  3. Container /colander
  4. Muslin cloth

PROCEDURE-

  • Wash and soak whole moong beans in enough water.
  • Soak for minimum of 8 hours or overnight.
  • After 8 hours mung beans will absorb water and swell up to minimum thrice in volume.
  • Now drain the beans on a colander and wash with fresh water.
  • Discard /drain the water completely from the beans.
  • Transfer the beans in a jar/ bowl or vessel /Colander ,in which you want to sprout the beans .
  • Cover the jar/ bowl /colander with a piece of muslin cloth / paper napkin /plastic sieve lid and tie with a ribbon or rubber band.

Second Method To make Mung Beans Sprouts

Take the soaked beans in a thin muslin cloth and tie it to make a loose bag and sprinkle some water over the cloth and then hang it some where in the kitchen or keep it in a colander,keep sprinkling water at regular intervals to make them moist.

Time seeds Takes To Sprout

  • Wait for a day or minimum 12 hours .Sprouting also depends on the heat in the climate, I got these sprouts in 12 hours as the weather is hot in Dubai.
  • In winters you may have to wait for minimum 2 days to see the tiny sprouts.
  • If you want to make long sprouts then wait for 2-3 days and keep the sprouts moist by sprinkling some water on them and then draining the extra water.
  • Don’t shake or move or disturb the bunch of sprouts if you want to make them thick like store brought sprouts,occasionally sprinkle little water on them to keep them moist .

Tips and Points To Remember-

  • Remember to drain all the water from the sprouting jar /bowl,as water may cause foul smell in the sprouts and you may not able to consume them.
  • Don’t close the lid of the jar or vessel ,because sprout need air to breathe otherwise they will get mold or rot easily.
  • Wash or rinse the sprouts twice a day in summer season .
  • Same way you can make sprouts from chana/gram, wheat, cow peas/chawli, moth , alfa alfa, peanuts, almonds, matar/peas, masoor/red lentil ,all most any whole pulse or grain can be sprouted,but the time of sprouting may vary according to the bean used.
  • Don’t keep the jar in direct sunlight,always keep in dry hot place
