Today, it has become clear that what we put in our bodies has a direct effect on our health. That’s why it is so crucial that we eat foods that will repair, cleanse, and heal our bodies from terrible toxins, instead of eating foods that will only do more damage and wear us down. One way to improve your diet is by eating raw and healthy foods like mung bean sprouts — and Food to Live makes it easy and convenient to try sprouting your mung beans!
Health Benefits of Mung Bean Sprouts
These little beans are some of the most popular legumes for sprouting, and boast high levels of vitamins A, B, C, and E, as well as amino acids and minerals such as iron, calcium, magnesium, and potassium. Mung bean sprouts can also help you lose weight because you are eating a vegetable that contains high fiber, no cholesterol, and very few calories. With each bite, you feel satisfied without gaining a lot of unnecessary, empty calories in the process.

How to Sprout Mung Beans at Home
- Yields approximately 3 cups (1/2 lb.) of sprouts. Prep 3 tablespoons of beans, then transfer into a bowl or into your sprouter. Add 2-3 times as much cool (60°-70°) water. Mix beans up to assure even water contact for all.
- Allow beans to soak for 6-12 hours. Empty the beans into your sprouter (if necessary). Drain off the soak water. Rinse thoroughly with cool (60°-70°) water. Drain thoroughly! Set your sprouter anywhere out of direct sunlight and at room temperature (70° is optimal) between rinses. Ensure sufficient air-circulation is provided.
- Always be sure to drain very thoroughly. The most common cause of inferior sprouts is inadequate drainage. Rinse and drain again every 8-12 hours for 3 days.
