Bring it to boil, then cover and let it simmer for 1.5 - 2 hours. Rinse the sprouted beans off once more, then place them with water in a large pot. You still have more work to do after sprouting! After this, sprouting is done!! You can either place them into the fridge at this point or move onto cooking. They were fine!ĭAY 3: Repeat the dump, rinse, place upside down step every 3-4 hours until you have the sprouts you desire! I did this twice on day 3 and was happy with where the beans were at. That means they were left overnight / no rinsing. And no, I didn’t wake up every 3-4 hours to rinse the beans. I started to see small sprouts before I went to bed on day 2, but they weren’t on every bean and were very small. You do this to prevent mold! You’ll do this until you start seeing sprouts. Repeat the dump, rinse, place upside down step every 3-4 hours during the day. **I show images of what my setup looked like below! It worked fine! You still want a cool environment, but I just kept mine on the kitchen counter or on the kitchen table at this point. You can get a stand to do this, but I just tilted it in a bowl I already had by propping the jar up next to a smaller bowl. You want them to get air and be able to drain excess water. Place the breathable covering back on top and tilt the jar at an angle with the bean side pointed down. Place them back in the jar but don’t fill it up with water this time. Note that you can sprout pretty much anything! You’ll need to be careful to store in cool places so you don’t grow mold however, that shouldn’t come close to happening if you keep an eye on them.ĭAY 2: Dump the jar over a strainer and rinse the beans. You want it to be in a cool temperature, as this is the best environment for beans to sprout. I stored the jar in a hall closet, because it was dark and cool there. Next I covered the jar with a press and seal / saran rap type of cover and poked several holes in the top. I rinsed them, then placed them in my mason jar.

To be specific I used 3/4 cup of organic dry pinto beans and put in about 2 cups of water.

You’ll want the jar about 3/4 full with water which usually comes out to about 2-3 times the bean to water ration. They make specific sprouting jars/lids/stands, but I just used what I had on hand. I used a 32 oz mason jar as my container.

This makes them softer, creamier, and allows them to cook in a shorter period of time. To be specific it took me 3 days.ĭAY 1: Soak your beans overnight (for at least 8 hours.) This is something you should be doing when you cook dry beans regardless! They will double by taking on the water. Wellllll this is the part that takes a day or two.
