How to sprout mung bean sprouts? Detailed explanation of the method and steps for sprouting bean sprouts

1. How to sprout mung bean sprouts?

1. Selecting beans: Wash the mung beans with clean water. When washing, be careful to remove all the beans that float, as these are immature or already spoiled beans with an extremely low germination rate that are not easy to grow.

2. Take a large plastic box or other container (the material does not matter, as long as it is clean and the bottom can drain), spread a layer of clean sand about 5 cm thick, and evenly spread a layer of the washed beans that have been soaked until they swell and crack on the sand; do not use too many, otherwise they are prone to spoiling. Then evenly cover the beans with another layer of clean sand about 1 cm thick.

3. Water several times a day to keep the humidity, but do not let the water accumulate.

4. After a few days the bean sprouts will push their way out. Just wash off the sand in clean water.

2. After mung beans are soaked in water, when do they generally sprout?

Generally, mung beans will sprout 3-6 days after being soaked in water. On the first day, sprinkle 11 jin of clean water every 5 hours; on the second day, sprinkle 20 jin of clean water every 4 hours; on the third day, when the bean sprouts have grown to about half an inch long, check the temperature inside the bucket at any time, and whenever it feels warm to the touch, sprinkle 40 jin of clean water. When the bean sprouts grow to 1 inch long, they are ready. In this way, 5 jin of mung beans can produce about 50 jin of fresh and tender bean sprouts.
