Abstract: The bean sprout machine can grow soybean sprouts and mung bean sprouts. I believe many friends have experienced it. In fact, the bean sprout machine can also be used to grow peanut sprouts. Peanut sprouts are rich in vitamins, potassium, calcium, iron, zinc and other minerals. They are a food with both dietary and therapeutic properties. The method of using a bean sprout machine to sprout peanuts is very simple. First, select the peanut seeds, and then cultivate them in a bean sprout machine. Let’s take a look with the editor. How to sprout peanuts in a bean sprout machine

1. Select about 60 peanut kernels, soak them in warm water for four hours, and then put them into the bean sprout machine to sprout for about 24 hours. Priority is given to peanuts in shells, shelled by hand, and those with plump particles and uniform sizes. For those raw peanut kernels sold in the market, pay attention to whether the germs are injured. The germination rate of injured ones is low.

2. Fill the four cultivation baskets of the bean sprout machine with perlite, then insert the sprouted peanut kernels buds downward into the pearl salt. Note, do not use peanut kernels that have not sprouted.

3. Cover the water inlet of the bean sprout machine to prevent perlite from leaking into the water tank.

4. Sprinkle a layer of perlite about 5cm thick to cover the seeds, place it on the water tank (fill the water tank with water), and turn on the power.

5. Pay attention to observation. Generally, sprouts will emerge in about 2 days. If you want the stems to be longer, you can sprinkle a layer of perlite on top before the leaves grow. Do not cover the perlite cover after the leaves grow. The specific length can be flexibly controlled for about 3 days according to personal preference.

Are peanut sprouts poisonous

Peanut sprouts are edible just like mung bean sprouts, and peanut sprouts are very nutritious, but make sure they are not rotten. Peanut sprouts have always been eaten among the people, mainly made into pickles, which can be eaten after being soured in a pickle jar. In southwest Anhui, some of the new flowers that grow in the soil every year will sprout, and people regard them as delicacies. In some cities, small packages of peanut sprouts are very popular in vegetable supermarkets. Restaurants also serve peanut sprouts as a dish, but this refers to sprouts that are about an inch long and not rotten.

When we buy peanuts and see sprouted peanuts or peanuts stored at home, we actually don’t know the day they sprouted. If they can sprout, it means that the peanuts are in a humid and moist environment. In such a state, such peanuts are prone to germination, mold growth, and infection with Aspergillus aflatoxin. .So, germination is not toxic, but when germination is accompanied by mold, toxic aflatoxin will be formed and cannot be eaten. Therefore, if it is artificial germination, there is no problem. It's edible. However, if it is moldy and sprouts due to moisture due to being left for too long, it cannot be eaten.
