  1. Pick and clean the mixed beans.
  2. Rinse the beans for 3 to 4 times in clean water using a colander or strainer.
  3. In a big bowl soak the beans with water covering 2 to 3 inches above the beans. Soak the beans overnight or for 8 to 9 hours.
  4. Next day, discard all of water from the soaked beans. Rinse the beans with clean filtered water or water that has been boiled and cooled.
  5. Place the beans in a clean and dry bowl. Cover with a lid (not too tight nor too loose) and keep them undisturbed for 1 to 3 days in a dry and clean place.
  6. Check the next day to see if the sprouts are visible. If yes and you want a little longer sprouts, than cover with the lid again and keep undisturbed.
  7. Do not toss or turn the sprouts. Just see and close the bowl with a lid.
  8. Check the third day and if you are satisfied with the sprouts then do not keep the bowl again undisturbed. You can use the sprouted beans right away.

Notes

  • Use any amount of beans to make homemade sprouted mixed beans.
  • Before using the mixed sprouts, rinse them very well in hot water. 
  • If not using straightaway, then after rinsing in hot water, drain all the water thoroughly and store them in a covered container in the fridge. Use within 1 to 2 days.
