Vigna radiata

Mung Bean sprouts are one of the most familiar and widely used sprouts, producing thick, crisp white stems with a fresh, mild flavour and satisfying crunch. A staple of many Asian cuisines, they are delicious in stir-fries, noodle dishes, soups, salads and spring rolls or eaten fresh for a crisp addition to meals.

Fast growing and highly productive, Mung Beans produce substantial sprouts in just a few days and are an excellent choice for home sprouting. For the thick, pale sprouts traditionally used in Asian cooking, grow them away from light and provide gentle pressure as they develop.

Sprouting Time: Approximately 3–5 days
Sprout Length: Approximately 4–8 cm

How to Sprout

Use a sprouting jar or purpose-made sprouter. Soak seed overnight, then drain thoroughly. Rinse with fresh water and drain well several times each day until the sprouts reach the desired size.

Keep sprouts in a dark or shaded position to encourage pale, tender growth. Good drainage and airflow are important, as sprouts should remain moist but never sit in water.

Once harvested, rinse thoroughly, remove any loose hulls and drain well before refrigerating. Store chilled and enjoy as fresh as possible.
