Any tips on growing organic bean sprouts at home without needing special equipment?
I’ve been playing with bean sprouts this week, and wanted to open a discussion for us sprout lovers. Care to share your favourite tips for keeping them crispy but mold-free in humid weather? Which beans do you think have the best crunch factor for stir fries vs salads raw; mung, soybean or lentils? Has anyone tried making a something simple to rinse them, like a little automatic machine (using parts from alibaba for example) or something else that eliminates the need to rinse daily? Do sprouts lose their flavor if you leave them in the dark longer? Any affect on nutrition? I’ve seen some cool sprouting set ups using recycled plastic bottles, and cheesecloth, but they can be a bit finicky. What do you think of adding a drop of hydrogen peroxide to the rinse water?
