One of the most popular sprouts of all time, Mung is easy to add to recipes and is often called for in Asian dishes. It goes perfectly in stir-fries, noodles, curries and soups. Mung is known as the Detox Bean, as it helps the body shed unwanted water retention and flush out toxins, as well as having a high antioxidant content. Rich in phytoestrogens, which boost our health and support the liver. It has a fresh, sweet taste. One of our favourites to snack on when we’re busy working.
100g of beans will produce approximately 250g of sprouts in 2 – 3 days.

From which country do these mung beans come?

Lovely and crunchy, and sprouted quickly
Brian Steere (Verified Buyer) –
I’m a happily returning customer.
I presoak and then start in a jar. Once grown a bit I switch to a bowl and plate (lid). Rinsing 2 or 3 times a day making sure to drain.
At a certain stage the seed cases fall away and can be fished out when submerged. It might be that if I watered more often I might not get the long thin root tail of otherwise succulent sprout. These are first to die back if forgetting to water. Also any broken off sprouts will start to decompose after a time.
There are sweeter earlyish and become more fibrous when larger. I may fine chop v long mung sprouts in such cases.
I mostly eat raw with or within salad mixes. If stir frying – I get the hot EVO oil ready to toss in sprouts and add tamari and honey (Or whatever) and then straight out.
I sometimes sprout in a mix with other larger beans seeds. I’ve yet to eat them as cooked beans.
We use filtered water!
One day I might look at nutrients/minerals as an extra thing – but the above is simple and simply works.
With food supply issues running via various agenda, mung beans are one of my top picks as a store of real wealth in a crazy world.

Quality, as all SkySprouts seeds, is excellent. Not a single one that doesn’t sprout! That is quite something. These are my favourites, so tasty and so easy to sprout.
