How To Grow Bean Sprouts

Here some tips on how to grow bean sprouts.

The next time you're in a supermarket and a bag of bean sprouts for sale, remember that it is really easy to grow your home anytime of the year.

You do not need a garden, you only need a clean glass jar empty, a piece of muslin large enough to cover the opening of the vase, a rubber band to hold it in place, mung beans (a tablespoon or two depending on the size of the pot), lots of water, and from four to seven days longer and longer.

Put a couple of tablespoons of dried mung beans in your pot and pour a couple of inches of boiling water to almost cover with muslin and elastic, and let soak overnight. In the morning, without removing the muslin for the water rinse and at least two times, filling the pot with fresh water, close to washing and to pay all. Leave the plate hangs down at an angle (I have kept in a dry bowl tipped over with the open end facing down). In the evening, rinse and drain again, and to leave a tip jar. Continue rinsing and emptying at least twice a day until the soybeans are grown and expanded. I'm ready to eat when the sprouts are at least 1 cm in length. You can then give them a final rinse, then a bag or keep them in the pot, if you prefer, and put them in the refrigerator.

They can be eaten raw in salads or cooked in a stir-fry.

I wash the jar and reuse. The dishes to be washed muslin in some liquid, and rinse completely after boiling for a few minutes and then re-use.
