Sprout: Beans
Sprouter: Easy Sprout
Crop: 8 ounce
1. Put 1/2 cup of beans into the Easy Sprout Growing container. Prep the seed by running cool water through them for about 30 seconds. Place the Growing container into the Solid base. Fill Easy Sprout with cool (65-70°) water. Mix beans up to assure even water contact. Soak for 8-12 hours.
2. Remove Growing container. Rinse thoroughly with cool water by holding Growing container under faucet, or by spraying. Drain thoroughly by shaking, spinning and bouncing (against the side of your sink) the Growing container. Return Growing container to Solid Base. Place Domed Lid on top between Rinses. Set anywhere out of direct sunlight and at room temperature (70° is ideal).
3. Rinse and Drain (repeat step 2) at 8-12 hours intervals.
We prefer to grow tiny sprouts and so we Rinse/Drain them once after their soak period and only once or twice more after that.
5. Your beans are done when they have the beginnings of little tails (sprouts). They are ready to eat. Eat the entire thing – bean and sprout. You can eat these raw right out of the sprouter or prepare them any way you like. You may grow them longer if you like - experiment to see what your favorite stage is. If you grow more than 4 days they may get tough. Refrigerate them when no longer damp (8-12 hours after final rinse).
