How to grow bean sprouts

1. Soak mung beans

Choose a bowl or basin and decide the amount of mung beans according to the size of the bowl or basin. Spread the mung beans flat on the bottom of a bowl, about 2 to 3 layers, then pour in clean water and soak for about a day until the mung beans crack and sprout.

2. Load into container

Put the soaked mung beans into a container. Before putting them in, it is best to pick out the ones that have not sprouted or are rotten. After filling, cover the container with a damp cloth, wrap and cover the container with light-proof cardboard, and finally place it in a bowl.

3. Water every day

After completing the above steps, be sure to water the container once a day with clean, purified water. Remove the shade plate at the mouth of the container and pour the water on the wet cloth above. Allow the water to gradually penetrate until it seeps out from the bottom. After ten minutes or so, pour out the water that seeps into the bowl.

4. Grow bean sprouts

Bean sprouts will grow in about a week, and the cloth covering them will be slowly lifted up. When large leaves and side roots appear, they can be taken out and eaten.
