How to grow peanuts hydroponically? Key technical points and detailed steps

  Not all sprouted foods are toxic; sprouted peanuts actually have health benefits. A study by National Chiayi University in Taiwan, China found that sprouted peanuts have antioxidant, anti-aging and heart-protective functions, and eating sprouted peanuts raw every day can also give you a rosy complexion.

  Key points for hydroponic peanuts:

  1. Soak the selected white-skin peanuts↑ in water overnight, take them out and spread them flat on a winnowing basket, then cover with a piece of damp gauze.

  2. At around 25°C, they will sprout in about 1 day.

  3. They can be eaten as soon as they sprout; leaving them too long makes them taste worse, and you should eat the peanut together with the sprout! (If your spleen and stomach are too weak, it is not recommended to eat them this way.) Throw away any that smell bad.

  4. Be careful to distinguish sprouted peanuts from moldy peanuts; when moldy, the peanut surface will have yellow mold spots, and they are toxic and inedible.

  Steps for hydroponic peanuts:

  1. Day 1

  After soaking plump, intact raw peanuts in water for one day, take them out and cover them with damp gauze. Usually the next day you will find that the peanuts have grown small white tails, which are the peanut roots.

  2. Day 4

  Dig small holes in the foam board, do not make them too big; just make sure the peanuts can touch the water and will not fall through.

  3. Day 7
