Growing Organic Mung Bean Sprout Seeds

Mung beans are clean and odorless to sprout. The initial soak period for mung bean sprouts is 4-6 hours. Following the soak, seeds can be poured into the sprouting jar or tray. They should be rinsed 2-3 times per day for 2-4 days. All water should be drained after rinses in order to maintain the freshness and crispness of sprouts and avoid waterlogging. Sprouts can be grown in jars or trays, For best flavor, cover sprouts from light after the first day of sprouting.

They can be harvested as early as 48 hours for a smaller sprout, or they can be grown longer in order to harvest larger and crunchier 3-4 in. sprouts. For sprout storage, make sure your beans are completely dry. Keep them in a container with a paper towel at the bottom to absorb excess water. Alternatively, store sprouts in a sealed container full of fresh water in the fridge, and make sure to change the water every day. This method can keep bean sprouts fresh and crisp for up to a week. To get the long bean sprouts common to asian dishes, protect the sprouts from sunlight until they reach the desired length and grow in a container or strainer that is large enough to allow several inches of growth.

We recommend using filtered water for the best sprouting results.

Tips From Our Gardeners

“Organic mung bean seeds mature into a legume cover crop that makes an ideal seasonal cover crop and companion plant known to replenish depleted soils of essential nitrogen and weed suppression. After harvest, the vines can be mowed down and tilled back into the soil as an organic and all-natural “green manure” to supplement spring soils ready for sowing. “
