How to Sprout Beans

• Wash beans well and soak in water overnight.
• Next morning drain all the water from the beans.
• Wet a cheese cloth or a muslin cloth, place soaked beans in the cloth and gently tie sides of the cloth and keep it in a covered container.
• Leave the Beans for 2 days checking on them occasionally. If the cloth seems to have dried up, lightly sprinkle water on it to re-moisten it.
• Within 2 days, the sprouts will appear. Rinse the sprouts and use.
