Organic Mung Bean Sprouting Seeds
Grow Your Own Chinese Bean Sprouts
Mung beans are a fast-growing favorite for sprouting, prized for their crisp texture and clean, refreshing taste. Commonly used in Asian dishes like stir-fries and spring rolls, mung bean sprouts are a versatile addition to a variety of meals. These sprouts are high in plant-based protein, enzymes, and fiber, making them a valuable part of healthy, plant-forward diets.
To grow mung bean sprouts at home, soak 1/4 to 1/2 cup of seeds in a wide-mouth jar for 6 to 8 hours. Rinse and drain the seeds twice daily, keeping them in a dark location to prevent bitterness and promote pale, tender growth. Sprouts are typically ready to harvest in 2 to 3 days, while longer shoots can be grown in 6 to 7 days. Each 1/2 cup of dry seeds yields approximately 2.5 cups of fresh sprouts.
These organic seeds require no soil or sunlight and can be grown year-round indoors with minimal equipment. For best results, store unused seeds in a cool, dry location or refrigerate for extended viability. Once harvested, refrigerate sprouts and keep them lightly dry to preserve freshness.

Special sprouting directions (jar method):
SOAK- Put 3-5 Tbsp. seed in a wide mouth jar. Cover with mesh and secure with rubber band. Add water, swirl, and drain. Add 1 cup cool water and soak for 4 to 8 hours. Drain well.
RINSE - 2-4 times a day, refill jar with cool water, swirl, and drain. Invert jar and prop at an angle in a sink or bowl. Mung bean sprouts do best with lots of rinsing - 3 to 4 times a day if possible.
ENJOY - Ready to eat in 2 to 5 days. Refrigerate to store. Sprouts can be refrigerated for up to two weeks in a sealed container. (Sprouts store best when they are fairly dry- do not store immediately after rinsing.)
Special sprouting directions (tray method):
Use the tray method to grow tall straight Chinese bean sprouts. Grow mung bean sprouts in the dark - light causes bitterness.
SOAK- Cover the bottom of the sprouting tray with one single layer of seed. Place the tray and seeds in a dish of water and soak for 4 to 8 hours. (Alternatively, once you've measured your seeds in the tray, you can put the seeds in a bowl, fill the bowl with water, and soak for 4 to 8 hours.) Drain well.
RINSE - 2-4 times a day, rinse the seeds. Either rinse under a tap of running water, or use a spray bottle to mist well. Tip the tray to the side to drain well. Mung bean sprouts do best with lots of rinsing - 3 to 4 times a day if possible.
ENJOY - Ready to eat in 4 to 6 days. Refrigerate to store. Sprouts can be refrigerated for up to two weeks in a sealed container. (Sprouts store best when they are fairly dry- do not store immediately after rinsing.)
