Use to grow delicious bean shoots (sprouts) or as a short sprout. Bean sprouts should be grown in the dark to prevent bitterness.

    Days to Sprout:  Sprouts 2-3; Shoots 6-7
    Soak Time:  6-8 hours
    Yield:   1/2 cup of dry seed yeilds 2.5 cups of sprouts
    Storage: Mumm's seeds should sprout well for a year after you purchase them if stored in a cool dry place. If you’d like to extend the germination life of your seeds store them in the fridge. If you store your seeds in the freezer they’ll last even longer!

    Sprouting Directions: 

     Soak: Put approximately 1/4 cup seed in a wide mouth jar with a sprouting lid. Add water, swirl, and drain. Refill jar with water and soak 6-12 hours. Drain well and invert jar at an angle on a sprouting rack, or in a bowl or drain rack.
    Rinse: Twice a day, refill jar with cold water, swirl, and drain well. 
    Enjoy! Ready to eat in 2-3 days. Refrigerate to store. (Sprouts store best when they are fairly dry.)

     

    Grow Chinese Beans Shoots! 

     Soak: Using a tray with drainage holes, rinse enough seed to cover the bottom of the tray. Soak the seed for 4-12 hours. Drain, rinse and drain holding at an angle to remove excess water. Spread the seed evenly on the bottom of the tray and cover with a lid top and bottom or put in plastic bag. Place in a dark area such as a pantry. (Bean shoots will be bitter if grown in the light.)

    TIP: If you want very tall, straight bean shoots you can place a weight on top of the tray, such as an lid with a bag of seed or heavy jar!

    Rinse: Rinse with water twice a day, using either a gentle flow from a tap or dipping in a sink. Drain.

    TIP: Bean shoots love water and can be rinsed 3 or more times a day if you have the time.

    Harvest! Typically, bean shoots are harvested at 6-7 days. Harvest before the next expected rinse so the shoots are dry.
