Mung Bean Sprouts Seeds

Mung bean sprouts are the thick, white, juicy sprouts familiar from stir fries and spring rolls. They germinate in two to four days and are ready in four to six, and they cook down beautifully without losing their crunch.

Mung beans sprout best in the dark under a light weight, which is what gives them their fat, pale stems. Rinse well two or three times a day and drain thoroughly each time.

3. Rinse and drain thoroughly two or three times a day, keeping the jar tilted so no water sits at the bottom.
