Light: No direct sun.

Humidity: Low to Moderate. 50% or less is ideal.

Temperature: Between 65 and 75 degrees is ideal.

Harvesting and Storage:

To insure that your harvest maintains its freshness use Debbie Meyer Green Bags. These bags are impregnated with a natural mineral called “oya” that will absorb the ethylene gasses that are released. If used as directed these will certainly extend the life of your harvest.

Approximate Yields:

Sprouted Beans and Legumes will increase in size and weight 2 to 3 times. This means ½ cup dry seeds will yield 1.5 cup of sprouts.

How to Sprout Beans & Legumes

Soak

• Put 1 cup of beans in soaking pitcher.
• Fill with 3 times the amount of water. Stir to eliminate air bubbles.
• Once the 8 to 12 hour mark has been reached, it is time to drain.
• Pour the contents of the soaking pitcher into the draining pitcher and rinse the seed with fresh water and allow water to drain.

Drain

• Insert the drain pitcher into the soak pitcher. This allows any excess water to drain from the seed and contains it in the pitcher.
• This will be performed two to three times per day.
• Re-sleeve pitchers, if not already.
• Fill or Flood the pitcher with water.
• Carefully stir seed. Allow seed to soak for a minute or two.
• Un-sleeve pitchers and allow to drain.

Rinse

• Rinse with fresh water and allow to drain.
• Insert the drain pitcher into the soak pitcher. This allows any excess water to drain from the seed and contains it in the pitcher.

Harvest

• The roots will have emerged from the beans and should be at least as long as the bean itself. If another shoot with a leaf begins to emerge, you have sprouted longer than necessary.

Storage

• Store sprouted beans and legumes in a green bag with the air removed. If moisture is present, placing a paper towel in the bag will extend shelf life.
• Place in the refrigerator.
