Sprouted mung bean is an excellent source of lean protein and fiber. It is also rich in digestive enzymes. Homemade sprouts are much fresher and tastier than purchased ones. It will take very little effort to germinate mung bean at home, especially if you use one of the proven methods described below!

What do you need

• Mash
• Pure water
• Sieve
• Casserole or muslin cloth

Steps

1. 1 Choose good quality mung bean for germination. Look for dense, hard beans, not sticky, soft, or gooey.
2. 2 Rinse the beans thoroughly in clean water. Rinse the beans three to four times to make sure they are completely clean. Since mung bean is mostly consumed raw, purity is very important.
3. 3 Soak the beans overnight in clean water. If you can't soak them overnight, leave them on for at least 7-8 hours.
   • Make sure the beans are completely submerged in water.
   • Make sure the container where the beans are soaked is perfectly clean.
4. 4 After soaking, rinse the beans well and drain off the water. The beans should be swollen, firm and slightly sprouted.
5. 5 Dampen a clean Muslim cloth. Squeeze out excess water. If you do not have muslin fabric, serpyanka or thin cotton fabric will also work.
6. 6 Transfer the mung bean to the fabric. Then tie the ends of the fabric into a knot and hang it somewhere to let the excess water glass.
7. 7 Place the roll of beans in the pot. Cover and leave overnight.
   • Don't put the pot in the refrigerator because the beans should be kept at room temperature.
   • Make sure the cloth is damp, not wet.There should be no water in the bottom of the pot, or the beans will rot.
   • If the fabric dries, sprinkle it with a little water to dampen it.
8. 8 When the mung sprouts are short, you can eat them! Eat them raw, steamed or microwaved, in a salad, stewed, or on their own.
   • Once the sprouts have sprouted, they can be stored in a container in the refrigerator.
   • They will be stored for four to five days.
9. 9 After the mung bean is completely dry, place the beans in the pot. Cover with a lid.
   • Leave the dishes alone for 10-12 hours or overnight.
   • The beans should be kept at room temperature.
10. 10 Enjoy perfectly sprouted mash.

Tips

• Mash is perfect as an evening snack.
• Sprouted shoots should be about 0.6 cm to 1.2 cm long.
• Mash can also be referred to as "mung" or "mung beans".
• Adding sprouted mung bean to breakfast will help you stay active throughout the day.
