The Mung Bean Production
Sprouting Instructions
Yields approximately 1 Cup (1/2 lb.) of Sprouts

Put 1/3 - 1/2 Cup of seed* into a bowl or Sprouter.

Note: Mung Beans are grown in China by farmers - often with little machinery. After harvest they are left to dry on gravel roads - so they are dusty. So: Prep before Soaking, by running water through them until the exiting water runs clear. It doesn't take long - they aren't very dirty nowadays. Is that not cool?! The dust/dirt you just washed off of your Mungs was part of a Chinese road!!!

Add 2-3 times as much cool (70°) water.
Mix seeds up to assure even water contact for all.
Allow seeds to Soak for 8-12 hours.

Note: Occasionally Mungs will have some small percentage of hard seed (seeds that are as hard after soaking as before because they don't absorb any water). If you buy your seed from us this is not much of a concern, but you should examine them after soaking to make sure there are no hard seeds lurking at the bottom. If there are - throw those (the hard ones) out! They are easy to spot as they are smaller and darker, and they make a different sound, than those that are swollen with water.

We normally soak mungs for the full 12 hours in any case. If you got your seeds elsewhere and have a problem with hard seeds you can often solve the problem by initiating your soak with warmer water (start at 80 - 90°) that will cool as the soak progresses. The warmth can convince most hard seeds to go ahead and drink.

Empty the seeds into your sprouter if necessary.
Drain off the soak water.

Rinse thoroughly with cool (60-70°) water.
Drain thoroughly.

Set anywhere - in low light and at room temperature (70° is optimal) between Rinses.

How Long to Grow

If you just want little sweet mungs
(1/4 - 1/2 inch roots):

Rinse and Drain every 8-12 hours. for 2 - 3 days.

If you just want to grow big mungs
(1 - 3 inch roots):

Rinse and Drain every 8-12 hours. for 4 - 5 days.

Grow them for as long as you like (as

    In modern society, it is very uncommon to find someone who does not watch any form of video entertainment. Television is so common in the better countries in the world and society does embrace it in their everyday lives. If society was asked, “How much TV do they watch daily”? They may give a wide variety of responses. Some the answers may range in between one to possibly even over twelve hours a day! The author Terrance Chiusano makes a statement on how much we are attracted and impacted by watching television in his poem, “The Screen”. The video clip mesmerizes the passengers in the plane and got their full, undivided attention. This is in contrast to when the flight attendant acted out the procedures in person. When acted out in person, the passengers just simply looked out the windows, possibly at the engines or even at their hands while the lady was preaching on how to save their lives in the event of an emergency. In The Screen, the passengers clearly prefer to obtain important information through electronic media, such as the movie. This is because just like in modern society, people want to information to be somewhat entertaining and for it to be presented quickly and precisely. If the message is boring or too long, people will simply stop giving their undivided attention. Chiusano is clearly trying to convey this message.…

    Make no mistake; the world today is not an easy place to grow up in. Hatred, poverty, and violence affect everyone. However, these are not the only problems. Every day we are all faced with adversity, ranging from simple tasks, a math test, to seemingly impossible ones, such as moving on from the loss of a good friend or family member. We are challenged to be strong and overcome this diversity. Sometimes we feel hopeless, unable to believe in ourselves, and we come close to quitting. It is then that we need a friend, someone that can be there for us in our times of need to support and keep pushing us to maximize our potential. In The Bean Trees, Taylor is faced with multiple adversities, and struggles to overcome them when she finds herself alone. Through her novel, Kingsolver illustrates with character development and dialogues how Taylor must form solid bonds with others in order to combat the hopeless, cruel nature of the world.…

    Barbara Kingsolver feels that a 'contract' lies between the author and the reader. This is correct. A novel must entertain the reader before a novel teaches the reader... If not, the reader would have no interest in finishing the story. Barbara Kingsolver did not live up to her contract. The Bean Trees is a down-right uninteresting novel and has no relation to any normal person.…
