Notes on growing mung bean sprouts

Overview

It seems that there was a trend of growing your own bean sprouts. There are also people who buy bean sprout machines specifically for this purpose. I have seen an advertisement for a bean sprout machine. It is fully automatic and requires no supervision, and can grow good bean sprouts in 3 days. At that time, I was itching to grow bean sprouts myself, but in the end I didn’t do it. Later, one day, I suddenly remembered the microwave steamer that had been used for a long time and had not been used several times. The lid is long gone, probably broken and thrown away. The remaining steam racks and bottom plates were dismantled here and there to hold scattered items. Suddenly it lit up, this is a very good bean sprout machine! Later, I saw a handful of mung bean juice left. It seems inappropriate to use it for anything. How about giving it some bean sprouts? Too lazy to move. After grinding for some days, I finally made up my mind to clean the remaining 2/3 of the microwave steamer, and then started the bean sprout experiment. I really think a bean sprout machine is unnecessary. It doesn't take much to grow bean sprouts. You only need to change the water every day, and then you will be delighted to find that there are sprout tips, sprouts have grown, roots have grown, and roots have grown and stood up. . . . It really can't be said that it is the same every day. The bean sprouts are changing all the time. Even if you look at them several times a day, they are different every time. Three days, just three days, the bean sprouts will grow to about 2 inches, and the top drawer will be clothed. It is said that bean sprouts of this length have the best nutrition. . . .
