How to Sprout Organic Adzuki Beans at Home
- To make 3 cups (1/2 lb.) of sprouts, you will need three tablespoons of beans. Transfer into a bowl or your sprouter. Add 2-3 times as much fresh (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. These beans need sufficient air-circulation.
- Always be sure to drain very thoroughly. The most common cause of inferior sprouts is inadequate drainage. Rinse and drain every 8-12 hours again for three days.
