The Mung Bean (Vigna Radiata) is one of the things one SHOULD have stored: When dried it can be stored for many years and its sprouts are full of carbs and...most importantly...protein.
But one one does not have to wait until a Mung Bean plant is ready to be harvested: You can simply eat the sprouts!
The simplest way is to place the beans in a jar, just add enough water to cover them and close the lid.
I like to do this when I am out on the sea to add some fresh vege to my diet....or just watch something else than mould on bread to grow :-P

| Not impressive looking.. |
 |
| Just add enough water to cover the beans |
 |
| Prepare a lid with a small hole to prevent insects or dust settling, also it will provide ventilation. |
 |
| Four days later. |
 |
| The sprouts have a nutty flavor, crunchy consistency and high on protein. |
 |
| Perfect for salads! |
