Clean and rinse the Mung beans in clean tap water, 3-4 times.

Soak it in a clean tap or lukewarm water for 6-8 hours or overnight.

Water should be 3-4 times more than the mung beans.

If you are living in a cold climate soak them in lukewarm water. It helps soak the beans well and even sprout

At times if you have added less water, all the mung beans might have not soaked properly.

In this case add more water and let it soak further for 2-3 hours.

The soaked water might appear slightly discolored as seen below. Do not worry it's not gone bad. It’s a natural process.

Rinse the mung beans again in clean tap water.

Take a clean muslin cloth or a kitchen towel.

Keep the clean cloth over a strainer or colander.

Now add the mung beans to it discarding any water.

Give a rinse again to the mung beans.

Keep this aside in a clean dry place.

I just checked this after 8 hours just to take a picture. I generally do not open it before the next day. So as you can see there are some sprouts coming up.

Check if your mung beans are sprouted. If in a hot environment, it might have.

If not just sprinkle some water, cover it, and keep it aside again.

The mung beans should sprout on this day. If not there is a problem and chances are that the beans have gone bad.

I see that my mung beans are sprouting. They are actually done but I keep it a day further at times to let them grow a bit more.

After another 10 hours, the sprouts have grown more.

When using sprouts in any recipe, give them a quick rinse.

If not using right away, do not rinse and store it in a clean and sterile air-tight container or zip lock in the refrigerator for 3-4 days and use as required.

If storing in the freezer, do not rinse and store in a clean and sterile air-tight container or zip lock in the freezer for up to 3 months and use as required.
