How to grow soybean sprouts

You can grow your own soybean sprouts at home, the quantity is controllable, it is safe, more natural and reliable than those purchased outside, and the process itself is a pleasure. Just follow the steps.

1. Soaking beans

To grow soybean sprouts, you first need to choose full and fresh soybeans. Heavy soybeans or soybeans with diseases and pests are not conducive to normal sprouting. After selecting the soybeans, wash them with clean water, and then soak them in water overnight, at least not less than 10 hours. After soaking, you will find some sinking to the bottom of the water, which need to be fished out, and also remove some impurities or damaged beans.

Container

While soaking the beans, we need to prepare containers for growing bean sprouts. Generally, any clean, oil-free basins, plates, or bowls will do. There are also special containers for growing bean sprouts on the market. They have two to three layers, with an outer layer for water and an inner layer that is permeable. No matter what kind of container you use, make sure it is clean and free of oil, and then place a piece of absorbent paper at the bottom of the container.

3. Bean sprouts

Put the soaked and screened beans in clean water, rinse them lightly, and put them into the container. The ideal temperature for the bean sprouts is between 20-28 degrees. It should not exceed 30 degrees, otherwise it will inhibit the formation of sprouts and it will easily rot. Too low a temperature will also slow down the germination rate. Then what we have to do every day is to ensure that the upper layer of gauze is moist. At the same time, there should not be too much water. Wash it every day. As the bean sprouts grow, some of its skin and other substances will fall off. These should be cleaned with new water every day. Generally, the bean sprouts will sprout in two to three days. Then we maintain this work until the bean sprouts grow to a size that we can eat.
