Where do mung bean seeds come from?

Mung bean is another name for soybeans and peas. It goes through the processes of seed germination, emergence, seedling growth, branching, flowering, podding, grain filling, and maturity. When it grows up, mung beans will grow pods between the branches and leaves, and inside are mung beans, which are soybeans with a green seed coat.

Mung bean seed dispersal

When mung beans are ripe, the pods will split open under sufficient sunlight, and the seeds will be ejected. In addition, after animals eat mung beans, they are difficult to digest and will be excreted from the body with feces. They can also be spread artificially.

How to get mung bean seeds

After the mung bean seedlings grow up, take the bag or the tool for holding seeds, preferably with a cloth pad, and slowly break open the mung bean pods to reveal the seeds inside, and then place them in the tools we brought.

How to save mung bean seeds

1. When choosing mung bean seeds with good color, first look at its surface color, because some mung beans are dyed, and their surface color is dark. Mung beans of good quality will have a natural luster on the surface.

1. There are two ways to sow mung beans. One is hole sowing, which is to sow three or four seeds in the prepared soil at a certain density and spacing, and then cover the seeds and wait for the seeds to germinate.

2. Another way is to sow and raise seedlings. If you use this method, you need to evenly spread the mung bean seeds on the prepared seedling bed to raise the seedlings. After a period of time, you can see the seeds sprouting, and then you can transplant and plant the seedlings.

3. The first method is relatively simple, but the germination is slow. Although the second method is relatively complicated, it greatly shortens the germination time. Both methods have advantages and disadvantages. You can decide according to your preferences.
