    1. Hi Geetha, thanks for the recommendations and also for your suggestions. I have already shared many juices and salad recipes. I will see if I can add them in the recipe index page. Thank you.

  2. Hi Dassana,

    I’m a huge fan of your recipes. Is always very clear. Thank you for putting these here.

    I’m trying to make moong bean sprouts using the bowl menthod but I have just a few tiny sprouts between yesterday and today. The beans are absolutely dry. Would you reckon I can give it a rinse and put this back? Please suggest.

    Thanks in advance

    1. thanks and welcome. don’t give a rinse. let them be dry. more sprouts will be visible in two or three days. avoid touching them or rinsing them with water.

  3. Hi… please let me know that to allow sprouting do we need to keep it at ambient temperature or in the refrigerator???5 stars

    1. antora, firstly rinse the beans very well. then while keeping the beans for sprouting, do not tightly cover the bowl with a lid. keep some space for air through to come through. the beans should be drained very well after soaking. if there soaking water left with the beans while sprouting, then the beans will get spoiled.

  4. Thanks for the technique, mine moong daal sprouted within 10 hours after overnight soaking, and it tasted better than sprouts available in a local store.5 stars

  5. I soak moong for whole night but all moong was not swollen even after 24 hrs.
    Please help me.

  6. hii I used your recipe the first one for sprouting moong and got wonderful results. It’s a such a easy method and saved me a few dollars and trips to Indian market just to buy sprouted moong. Thanks! Love your blog

  7. Dear Dassana, it is a pleasure seeing you respond to everyone. I am struggling to have all mung beans sprouted. Every time some beans stay unsprouted and it is a big task manually taking them out. I use bowl method. Is there anything I can do to make all beans sprout?Thank you.

    1. hi divya, once or twice every day just gently shake the bowl. this will allow the beans which are at the bottom to come up and aid them in getting sprouted.

  8. Hi there,
    If choose to go by your method of using a container, do you think after the sprouts swell, is it better to
    1. lighlty cover them with a muslin cloth on the top ? OR
    2. cover the container with a lid which has holes?

    Is one going to yield quicker results over the other ?

    Thanks !

    1. i would suggest to cover with a lid. thats how i always make the sprouts. not sure how the sprouts would behave if exposed to air via the fine muslin or the lid with holes.

    1. why remove the husk. they are nutritious as well. for appearance if you still want, then just rub the sprouts in your palms. the husk comes out. keep the sprouts in a bowl of water. the husk floats and you can easily remove them.

  9. I love your site. thank you. I refrain from the 5 kinds of pungent herbs (garlic, etc.) and appreciate your addressing this in a separate category.

    I sprout constantly! I mean I have three, sometimes four sproutings of different beans and mixes going at a time, so that one is always available on a given day. Also, if one “goes funny”, I will usually have something to fall back on.

    1. thanks tahti. appreciate your comments and i liked what you said – world peace through simple, mindful eating… beautifully expressed 🙂

  10. Hello Dassana,

    Thanks for sharing this! I generally use the cloth method which works well, but the sprouts start coming out of the cloth and are a task to remove them, so want to try the jar method. I just have couple of questions:

    – When u soak moong in jar overnight in water, have u closed the lid tightly or just placed it on the jar?
    – For the rest of 2-3 days when u keep it for sprouting in the jar, again do u use the lid? If yes, is it closed?

    Thanks in advance and sorry for so many questions!!

    1. even the same thing happen with me when i sprout the beans in a kitchen towel.

      your questions answered:

      – just place the lid on the jar. no need to close the lid tightly.
      – i do use the lid for the next 2-3 days, but again here not closed tightly… just kept loosely on the pan or bowl.

  11. Hi Dassana

    I tried making the sprouts with the container method. They were perfectly cooked.
    Thanks for the great recipe.. 🙂

  12. Hi ,
    I tried this , no doubt sprouts came out beautifully but moong skin got peeled . Can I kno why ?

    1. the skin will get peeled when you cook the sprouts. some amount of peeling is natural in uncooked sprouts. but not all your sprouts should be without the skin. however this may happen if the beans have been over soaked.

  13. Love to see you here Dassana and yes very good to have the ability over sprouts whenever we want it. With love, Tamara

  14. Can we eat Mung Bean Sprout in empty stomach. I heard that if we take this in empty stomach it leads to gastric.

    1. i have never heard that eating mung bean sprouts on empty stomach leads to any stomach issues. we sometimes have mung bean sprouts salad as breakfast and have never faced any issues.

  15. I’m very confused why in between 3 to 4 hours the beans absorbed a lot of water, for example in my expirement in 3 hours of soaking in water then i weighed,it has 25 grams then in 4 hours it was 45 grams..why? can i have your idea please…thanks…

    1. its simple logic. they keep on soaking the water. the more time you keep the beans in the water the more they will soak water and hence weigh more….
