Kids wanted to grow something quick so we choose mung beans (not sure why as they wont eat them)

but it says 6-9 days on the pack to reach 1 and a half inches

They are on day 11 and they look good but they are under an inch each, should I use them now or give them extra time.

Sounds small to me - wait til they are 2inches.

When my mum & dad first came to UK, they used to germinate all their mung bean sprouts to make spring rolls for their take-away!!!!   :shock:

I think they're quite glad they can be bought but the sack load now!!!

The ones you make yourself are very different to the ones in the shops, though - don't you have to put a weight on them or something?

I wonder how you are growing them ?

I think you can grow them in a tupperware box soaked in water in the airing cupboard and rinse them out with fresh water every day.

But as they will only grow due to the nutrients in the seed if you grow them in the dark then I suppose the smaller/larger the initial seed then the smaller /larger the eventual sprout ?

I might be mung...I mean wrong..maybe add more water ?

Just when I thought I getting good I get a kick in the teeth.
What are mung beans.
