mung beans are so easy to sprout. After the intial 8 to 10 hours of soaking in water, just drain them off. Keep them in a glass or plastic dish, spread them out so they are not on top of each other. Mist them lightly once every couple of hours. Place a paper towel over top of dish. In 3 to 4 days you sprouts ready to eat. dont allow mung beans to get leaves, then become bitter. Most sprouts become bitter quickly after their ideal harvest point. They spoil quickly too. sprout what you need.
I find mung beans too bitter for my liking when they start putting out leaves. Then I have to use them in a stir-fry. I quit sprouting them because I somehow missed the right times to eat them. :p Cucumbers inside? Wow, that's the first time I've seen that. I'm impressed. :)
@VivianRinSC They do have a pronouced taste. And they do grow leaves pretty fast. I did get one small diformed cuccumber out of it....but the plant died after a while ??
For your back pain try googling "pressure points for back" maybe that might be of help to you. Also a tennis ball inside a sock will work for the points you can't reach...Good Luck!
@jihadacadien: Oh my gosh, I have chronic back pain. I don't know how to fix them. A good massage is a temporary fix. But it's not a permenanent cure. The mung beans are my favorite Asian beans. I soak them in water and cook them in a sweet dessert. Mung beans are very popular in Laos ( southeast Asia)
@OS253 I didn't know that...And for the back, my back pain is mostly due to muscles being tight. So far so good, but I stitll have to watch the way I work and do exercises. Someone told me about pressure points too....maybe that would work better for you?
@jihadacadien you should look into heirloom varieties.i got seeds from hopeseeds in nova scotia i think. she has rat tail radishes, purple brussel sprouts etc. when you start looking into growing your own food, its amazing what you find!
@MrGreenbudha Oh I do have some heirlooms....and others that are only organic....and it is amazing to see all the stuff you can grow! eventually when I have more space and have better skills I'll go into variety and quantity ;)
@Beardedyoungman Yeah they are great for the back! You need a strong stomac in order to have a good back! I need one of those bars you can put in a doorway. The doctor said they were the best thing after swimming.
@Beardedyoungman Yeah those 'choke seem like they will grow like crazy! And what are your "starts" ? ;) And I can't wait either to see what will happen with my potatoes!!!
@jihadacadien I bought artichoke starts from the garden place, didn't think to try like you did just from the store. I'll make a vid soon and you'll see the weed I'm up against!
By the door bar you mean where you hang upside down from your feet?
@Beardedyoungman Oh k now I understand! We can have a 'chokes contest ;) And yeah by the feet or by the hands...and that you lift your body with your arms and back. I'm probably just gonna make one ;)
@jihadacadien I got a simple bar at canadian tire few years back for under 20 bucks has 4 things you screw in the door so you can have two different levels and no risk of it falling off at all! I don't trust those ones that just hold up by pressure alone.
@Beardedyoungman Yeah I have an aluminium bar in the garage. I just need to drill hole in one of the doorways to a bed room ;) Oh God I'd never use one that holds with pressure!!! And you're right, I'm gonna get brackets for my bar or something! Thanks man this is great advice!
I've been picking asparagus off the ditch banks when I see it driving by, it's not driving by, I'm driving by.
You're looking a little pale J, hope you're getting better. Didn't see anything about what happened, have to see if my subscription thing didn't show one of yours. Almost time to plant. We had a cold snap, lucky I waited. I think in a couple days I'm going to be going for it.
@dalecalder2003 I got it all from vesseys. And basically I mostly put my sprouts in sandwiches....or when I reheat soup. I try not to cook them and just add them raw to a dish or under a dish before I put it in my plate ;)
I love mung beans. Very mild flavor, I think. Lol, your new beard makes you look even more bad ass than before. Go grab your shovel and start doing some manly work :P. But you seriously have so many plants growing. I can't even grow 1. I'm done with trying to garden for awhile. I'm still looking for a community garden I can grow things in.
