Sprouting

Home

After attending a lecture by "Sproutman" Steve Meyerowitz I used the hemp bag I had purchased to make my first sprouts from mung beans. The lecture explained how sprouting is a means of quickly growing organic produce indoors, year-round, that is more nutritionally dense than traditional vegetables.

The lecture was excellent. I got an autographed copy of one of his books.

Step1: After soaking the mung beans for 12 hours and boiling the new bag for 5 minutes to sterilize, I place about 1.5 cups of beans in the bag.

Step 2: twice a day soak the bag in a pan of filtered water, then re-hang.

Three days later I have a large bag of sprouts! I trust them more than the sprouts that have been transported and sit on a store shelf for days. I used only filtered water. Most of the sprouts are still in the bottom half of the bag. (They could probably soak another day but they seem fine and I want to start eating them.)
