Under normal circumstances, mung beans will germinate after being soaked in water for 3-6 days. However, you must pay attention to moisture, temperature, etc., otherwise it will be difficult to germinate.

Method 1: When a large amount of mung bean sprouts are needed, it is recommended to use sand and soil.

1. Select the beans and wash the mung beans with water. When washing, be sure to remove all floating beans. These are immature or spoiled beans and have a very low germination rate.

2. In a jar, or a large plastic box, or other container (the material does not matter, as long as it is clean, and the bottom can drain), lay a layer of clean sand about 5cm thick, wash it and soak it to expand. Spread the cracked beans evenly on the sand, not too many or they will break easily. Cover the beans with a layer of clean sand evenly, with a thickness of about 1cm.

3. Water several times a day to maintain humidity. Keep mung beans in a humid environment at all times. But don't let the water stay.

4. The bean sprouts will sprout out in a few days. Just wash away the sand in clean water.

5. The small bean sprouts have broken through the barrier of soil and the nutrients in them have been used up. At this time, you need to put it in the sun to allow it to perform photosynthesis. However, after growing in the sun, the bean sprouts' rhizomes will grow longer and longer in a few days. If you don't pull it out of the soil in time, it will grow green leaves, and it will not be able to eat it at this time< /p>

Tips: During the germination period, it can be placed in the sun. It doesn’t matter if there is no sunlight, because basically the nutrients consumed by mung bean sprouts during the germination period do not require sunlight because they do not perform photosynthesis. However, if there is sunlight, it is best to put it in the sun. Basically, after two days of soaking, the bean sprouts sprouted and grew about 0.5 cm of tooth root.

Method 2: When you only need a small amount to eat at home, there is a simpler method:

1. Wash two small handfuls of mung beans and soak them in water overnight.

2. Prepare containers for growing mung bean sprouts, one that can leak and one that can be closed. For example, you can use an old-fashioned rice cooker.

3. The next day, put the soaked mung beans into the inner pot of the old-fashioned rice cooker (a leaky container), pour water from the faucet, then put it into the pot (a closed container) and cover it. Cover the pot and place it in a ventilated and cool place. Note here that the water you pour must be clean water and not oily.

4. On the third day, open the lid of the pot and take out the inner pot. You will find that the mung beans have sprouted. Still pour water on them as before, cover them and put them away.

5. The fourth day was still wet like the third day. When you pour water on the fifth day, you will find that the mung bean sprouts have grown to the lid of the pot.

6. On the sixth day, the mung bean sprouts have grown longer. Take out the grown mung bean sprouts, put them in a container, and then put them in the refrigerator. There will be some roots on the mung bean sprouts, which can be removed, otherwise the taste will be affected. Remember to put it in the refrigerator, otherwise the mung bean sprouts will continue to grow and become unpalatable.
