Mung beans germinate easily and are ready to harvest as sprouts after just a few days. Fresh, crunchy mung bean sprouts can be used in various ways in the kitchen.
Benefits of Mung Beans:
Mung bean sprouts are very healthy. Like many other sprouts, they are packed with vitamins and minerals, including vitamins A, B1, B2, C, E and niacin as well as potassium, phosphorus and iron. Mung bean sprouts are also rich in dietary fibre and are relatively high in protein for a vegetable, with about 3g of protein per 100g.
With their sweet taste, the crunchy, healthy mung bean sprouts are an integral part of many Asian dishes. They can be found in soups, spring rolls and wok dishes, for example. When adding mung bean sprouts in dishes, do so shortly before serving to preserve their crunch and nutritional value. Sprouted mung beans are also excellent raw, for example in salads or as a sandwich topping.
Storage: To prolong viability, it is best to store them in the fridge. If you store your seeds in the freezer, they’ll last indefinitely!
SPROUTING MUNG BEANS IN A MASON JAR:
- In a clean mason jar with a straining lid, soak 30 grams of Mung Bean seeds in 3" of fresh, lukewarm water at room temperature for 6-8 hours. Drain well.
- 2 times a day, refill the jar with fresh cool water, swirl, and drain on a 45 degree angle in a bowl or dish rack, making sure the jar isn't sitting in water.
- Enjoy! Ready to eat in 2-3 days, shoots 6-7 days
- Leave them to grow for another 1/2 day after the final rinse so they absorb most of the water and pat dry on a paper towel.
- Store dry in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 10 days.
*NOTE* for shoots grow in a tray using soil.
