Sprouts | Bean sprouts

Bean sprouts are the sprouts of a germinated mung bean. Delicious in an Asian stir-fry or as a filling in a spring roll. They are nice and crunchy and packed with vitamins and minerals; a healthy addition to your meal. Bean sprouts, like other sprouted vegetables, are very easy to grow yourself.

Sprouting tray not included

Instructions

• Preferably use a sprouting jar with a perforated lid; a sprouting tray can also be used
• Put 1 tablespoon of mung beans in the jar and fill with lukewarm water
• Let the beans soak overnight and rinse with cold water
• Place the jar in a dark and warm place
• Rinse the jar/tray 2 to 3 times a day with cold water
• Within a week, yellow leaves will appear and you can harvest your bean sprouts

Please note: it is important to grow your bean sprouts in the dark; this keeps them nice and white. You can also grow bean sprouts in a sprouting tray. However, the result is often slightly less than in a sprouting jar.
