A few mung beans and a thermos: sprouts ready in 3 days, non-toxic
Toss the beans into a thermos, and in 3 days they become bean sprouts!
These days, even eating mung bean sprouts is a worry. Many unscrupulous vendors add health-harming additives to speed up sprouting. It is better to sprout a batch yourself: tasty and reassuring!
1. Soak the mung beans in cold water overnight, then pick out and discard the bad beans floating on the surface.
2. Put the mung beans into a thermos, making sure to clean the thermos thoroughly beforehand. Pour water into the thermos, rinse the beans, then pour the water out.
3. After pouring all the water out of the thermos, put the lid on and place it in a relatively warm room at home.
4. Every day, add water to rinse away the metabolic waste from the sprouts, then pour the water out again. Rinse once in the morning and once in the evening. The spout of the thermos is very small, so the mung beans will not slip out; it is very convenient.
5. After one day, the mung beans have already sprouted little tender shoots~
5. After three days, the sprouts are almost ready, and at this point you can stir-fry them and eat them. If you like longer sprouts, you can let them grow for another 2~3 days.
Tips:
When sprouting beans in a thermos, it is best to keep the lid on all day to create a dark environment; otherwise the sprouts will turn red, just like in the picture below.
Bury peanuts in sand to grow delicious peanut sprouts!
When it comes to peanut sprouts, many people may have doubts. Isn't it said that peanut sprouts are toxic? In fact, if peanuts sprout naturally, it is a sign of mold, and they are indeed toxic and inedible. But artificially sprouted peanut sprouts are non-toxic, and their nutritional value is very high!
1. To sprout peanut sprouts, it is best to choose peanuts from the current year. Soak the peanuts in clean water in advance, about 10~12 hours is enough.
2. Put the soaked peanuts into a basin with mesh holes, or on cheesecloth, to sprout. Cover with an opaque basin to block light, and sprinkle water on the peanuts 2~3 times a day. In about 3 days, small sprouts will grow.
3. Prepare some clean sand. First spread a layer of sand 2~3 cm thick, plant the peanut sprouts facing down into it, then add another 7~8 cm of sand. After watering once, place it in a warm spot and keep it shaded from light.
4. After planting the peanuts in the sand, generally no watering is needed for the first 3 days. If you see the sand has dried out, you can add a little water.
5. After about 7~10 days, once the peanut sprouts have grown 10 cm above the sand surface, they are ready to harvest.
6. Pull the peanut sprouts out of the sand, wash them clean with water, then trim off the root fibers, and they are ready to eat.
7. Stir-fry peanut sprouts with a little pork belly, and they smell unbelievably good!
