  1. I've grown mung beans before,  but i don't allow the beans to grow a long tail, the mung beans lose some nutrients if overly grown… i do enjoy eating sprouted beans raw, and sometimes mixed into my meals…

  2. I've grown mung beans in both a qt mason jar & a 2pc colander set. I liked the ease of the colander set best (plastic colander that fits inside a plastic bowl but leaves at least an inch of space between for drainage.) Twice a day I just fill a large tumbler with filtered water & pour evenly over sprouts. Shake a couple times to drain, empty the water collection bowl underneath & set the colander back in it. Tuck a paper towel over the sprouts and leave it. Less water waste, this way.

  3. I just was wondering about mold and or fungus when doing this. Do you have any suggestions about how to prevent these, like wheres a good spot to store the container? I have a small air purifier running in my plant room so Id assume thats the cleanest room in my house so I could leave it in there but that room tends to get on the warmer side, around 60-70 degrees F all day. Any suggestions would be helpful!

  4. If bacteria is the worry wouldn't a soak with Potassium Metabisulfite (horrors, a chemical!) work to sterilize the container once washed? I use that for sterilizing all my brew/wine/cider fermenters.

  5. Do you prefer or choose juice boxes instead of clear plastic bottles for a specific reason? I've never seen it done in a container that isn't clear until now. How do you feel about empty clear plastic soda bottles or any other reuseable plastic container that can be easily filled and drained?

  6. I've been soaking my mung beans for about 10 hours now. I can't wait to box them in the drinks carton tonight. This method seems so simple. FINGERS-CROSSED it works for me. Thanks for the great vid. 🙂

  7. Here in India, these beans will have properly sprouted practically overnight. Just put them in just enough water to cover them, no more. And hey, don't remove the husks – whether you plan to eat 'em or grow 'em into plants. They contain about 25% of the nutrition!

  8. so many videos showing how to grow sprouts, but everytime I ask how to freeze mung sprouts I get a list of how to grow its frustating can u please tell me how to freeze once I tried and they turned limp and soggy so please help thanks

  9. The first time I grew them they were perfect and delicious, I grew them in exactly the same way again and some of them were slightly purple and tasted very bitter. I heard that only happens when they've been exposed to sunlight but could there be any other cause?

  10. My daughter in law works at a prestigious research center. A paid study was made on the toxicity of the plastic layer in food cartoons. They are very toxic and damage the brain and its synapsis. Have you tried it with glass containers? Oh the results of the investigation cannot be published because it was paid.
