Mung beans for sale

[Dave Ridley]

I discovered these a month or two ago and have finally found a way to get them cheap.   In some ways mung beans are even more awesome than wheat berries as a survival food.   Unlike most beans, you don't have to steam them after sprouting.

They have the vitamin A which wheat berries lack, and you get more pounds of sprout from a pound of beans than a pound of wheat.  However they have only a 3 year shelf life at 70 degrees, according to

For now I'll sell some of mine to you for $2.75 a pound; more if I have to drive extra. Bear in mind once sprouted the real cost is only about 60 cents a pound.  Good GD2 food.  Lemme know.

Yes, but just like puppies and kittens they grow and become adults

What a coincidence!  I just started sprouting a few days ago.  I found a Sprout Master when I was going through my stuff and deciding what to get rid of and what to keep, and decided to read the instructions and give it a try.  I had some quinoa that I had bought last year for making multigrain breads, and decided to try sprouting it.  It sprouts in under 2 days, although I've been eating over the past several days, and the flavor has changed from a nutty flavor to a lettuce like flavor, and they have gotten larger.  I also started sprouting lentils and chick peas, and am planning to try a few other things when I have an empty tray.  The quinoa cost me $3.99/lb at Hannaford, and is very high in protein, and has no gluten in it.

I've been asked before if I use sprouted wheat in my bread. I haven't. It has to be dry to run it through my mill. I wonder how hard it is to dry it out well enough after sprouting to mill it.

I'd put it in the dehydrator, but I guess you could do the oven at the lowest temp, since you're going to kill the enzymes anyway.

chick peas sounds awesome, then you can make massive amounts of HOMMUS!

I love that stuff!

Never mind.  I found a local source of organic mung beans for $2.45/lb, so I don't need any.
