Homemade Sprouts is always healthy. I make sprouts with green moong bean regularly. This time I tried with black chana too but it took more time around 2 days for even the small sprouts to appear. I have seen sprouts / mixed bean sprouts at stores but haven’t reached out anytime as I always doubt on the hygiene factor so always make my own batch.

How to make sprouts?

• Though sprouts are easily available in supermarkets , I would highly recommend making your own batch. Its not only easy but hygenic when made at home.
• First to begin with soak the bean in water for at least 8 hours or overnight.
• Rinse it well, drain water completely. Keep covered in a cloth or a hot box for a day.
• If you want long sprouts then keep it for a day mine is after 8 hrs. I would prefer short ones.
• Anyways long or short doesn’t really matter for the nutrition and health benefits it gives. Once it starts to sprouting itself, the nutrition is doubled when compared to the normal bean.

But if you want more lengthy sprouts, then keep aside for another 3-4 hours extra. But just open and check then leave it undisturbed don’t toss or turn over.

Sprouts can be stored in fridge for up to a week. You can make curries, stir fries or eat it as such too.

Each bean takes different amount of time for the sprout to be visible. I tried to make sprouts with black chana using the same above method and it took around 2 and 1/2 days completely for the sprouts to come out. For black chana you need to soak overnight.
