California Farm Indoor Mung Bean Sprouts
One quarter cup, 100 ml, organic mung beans yields one cup of tasty sprouts in about one week. Here is a foolproof method that works year round, every time.
Cooking Instructions
- 1
Soak quartercup (100 grams) of organic mung beans 24 hours in 3 cups of water, till they swell up and double in size. Lay plastic lid loosely on top, or make holes in metal cap and use to keep insects out. When fresh water is added for rinsing, some green skins of the beans will loosen, separate from white beans when being swirled, and float to the top.

Once a day, swirl the beans to loosen green skins and pour them off with the water, put lid back on, refill, put lid on, set upside down to drain. When drained, put back upright in pantry. Let drained beans sprout at room temperature, away from direct sunlight, but rinse and drain every day. Keep lid on to keep insects out.

After seven days or so, rinse away the last green shells, feed any unopened beans to chickens or compost, pick up the white sprouts, put in ziplock bag in fridge, sanitize jar and lid with boiling water, start new batch of mung bean sprouts. Enjoy.

In winter, when sprouts develop slower, operate two glass mason jars. Enjoy.

I teach people at the farmers market to grow small scale fruits and vegetables. My grandparents and parents taught me growing, cooking and preserving home grown fruits and vegetables, eggs, meats and fish. I got certified by the University of California Master Gardener Program in 2005. I try to bring out the original flavor of ingredients, then add layers of spices, herbs and flavorings that enhance, not distort the taste. These are the global, organic and vegan family recipes we use.

A baby wading pool works well too. Outside growing takes longer.You can grow 6 to 12 pounds of fresh sprouts from 2 cups of dry barley grains. You can have a sprout salad every day, bake sprouted barley bread, and have sprout and avocado cheese sandwiches.We also use sprouted barley to feed our chickens, our geese, our piglet, our lambs and our horses. If you give them hay and a mat of fresh sprouted barley side by side, they will eat the barley sprouts first. There is an old farmers trick in keeping mold out of of sprouting barley: we mix a spoonfull of sunflower seeds with the barley grains, water spray the seeds twice a day on a wood surface that drains, no mold.

California Farm Made Spelt Flour California Farm Made Spelt Flour
Our all purpose flour used to make fresh pasta is different from italian and french all purpose flour both in protein content and fineness. We have a real flour maker in our little town whose family has made flour over 100 years. He doesnt sell European flours, but taught me how to make a finer flour with more protein, ten percent instead of the normal eight percent, and how to make a finer flour for pasta making.I also make a cracked wheat flour to make rustic rye bread and dark rye bread. I made these flours in my coffee grinder, the flours worked better, but the process was slow.I now use an attachment to my dough maker that grinds flour. It makes very fine flour for pasta as well as cracked wheat to bake rustic rye bread. -
