Sprouting Mung Bean – Mr. Fothergill’s

Vigna radiata

• Quick and easy to grow, nutritious super food.
• Grow year-round for stir-fries, salads and sandwiches.

Another wonder food, these sprouts are often dubbed as tiny warehouses of nutrition. Mung beans are high in vitamins A, B, C and E, they are also very high in various minerals and amino acids. They can be sprouted in complete darkness (it is recommended that they are or they may develop a bitter taste) and are often used in salads and stir-fries.

Approx. 300 Seeds

For Sprouts use either a jar that can be covered with muslin or a clean cloth, or use a seed sprouter. Place seeds in a jar and cover with a cloth or place seed in a sprouter. Thoroughly rinse the seeds with tepid water at least twice a day and drain. Harvest when approx. 0.5-2.5cm ( -1) long.

Soak seeds for 8 hours prior to “sowing”.
