Green Moong Sprouts

This is a fairly simple and easy way to make sprouts from green moong.

Soak 1 cup green moong in water. The water does not need to be warmed or heated. Add enough water to cover the moong, so that the water level is at least an inch above the moong in the container. After eight hours hours, drain all but 1/4 cup of water. It is important to leave some water in the bowl to help the moong sprout. Cover and keep aside. Check back after 8 hours, you should begin to see small sprouts emerge. They are ready to eat. If you prefer longer sprouts, let the moong sit in the bowl for another 6-8 hours. Enjoy !

I soak the moong in the morning, drain all but 1/4 cup of water in the night. Let it sit overnight and the sprouts are ready in the morning. If you prefer longer sprouts, they should be ready by evening.
