Mung Bean Sprouts | How to Sprout Mung Beans
Learn to sprout Green Gram or Mung Beans at Home.
Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole Green Mung Beans
- Water as Required
Instructions
- We will take 1 cup of whole Green mung beans to make Green Mung Sprouts.
- Now, pour in a bowl, cover, and soak the Mung beans in water overnight or for 7-8 hours.
- After keeping them overnight, you can see that the beans have swelled and almost doubled.
- Wash the beans properly. Now, place a strainer over a large bowl and pour the beans onto the strainer to strain the moisture.
- Wash once more with fresh water.
- Discard the water. Leave the beans on the strainer and cover with a lid. Keep it covered for 24 hours. If you do not want to keep it in the strainer, you can keep it covered with a cloth, too. Remember to maintain the moisture, you have to sprinkle water every 6-7 hours or when you feel that the beans have dried. This is very important. If you have covered it with a cloth, then sprinkle water over the cloth to keep it moist.
- With this easy method, the beans will sprout and you can use them to make other recipes such as Pesarattu, and Green Gram Dosa.
