III. How do you quickly sprout mung beans?
Mung bean sprouts are very tasty and simple to make. Although they are sold on the market and are not expensive, most have been mixed with chemicals, and eating too much is harmful to the body, so people who like mung bean sprouts can make them at home themselves. The specific method for sprouting bean sprouts is as follows:
Method 1: Sprouting mung bean sprouts in a plastic box
Step 1: Prepare a plastic box of suitable size, then sprinkle some fine sandy soil in it and spread the mung beans evenly on the sandy soil.
Step 2: Sprinkle some water on the surface of the mung beans, then cover with some sand, sprinkle some more water, and place in a cool place.
Step 3: Water once a day. After watering continuously for three or four days, the mung beans sprout; sprinkle water for another one or two weeks, and the mung bean sprouts are ready.
Method 2: Sprouting mung bean sprouts in a wooden box
Step 1: Find a wooden box of suitable size; if there is none, you can make one yourself. The specific size depends on how many bean sprouts you want to grow. Generally, an area 15 times that of the mung beans is about right.
Step 2: Soak the mung beans in warm water overnight, then take them out and let them sprout freely.
Step 3: Place a wet towel or wet paper at the bottom of the wooden box, then put the sprouted mung beans on top, then cover with another layer of wet paper or wet towel, and finally cover with a wooden board.
Step 4: Water once a day. After watering continuously for four or five days, the mung bean sprouts are ready.
In the above two methods, when sprouting mung bean sprouts, be sure to avoid light throughout the whole process, so that the sprouts grown will not turn red. In addition, home-grown mung bean sprouts are generally not as thick as those on the market, but they are absolutely green, so do not add additives just to make them thick.
Overall, the market price of mung bean is not expensive; generally four or five yuan will buy one jin, but the specific price still needs to be checked at the market. In addition, the beans you buy back can be used to grow mung bean sprouts in a wooden box or plastic box; they are not only good in taste but also green, and regular consumption can be of great benefit to the human body.
