If you like bean sprouts, you can make your own. It's pretty easy. The easiet beans to sprout are the green mung beans; soak 1/4 cup (50 ml) of bean in 1 cup (250 ml) of water overnight. Drain the soaked beans. and place them in a thin layer on the bottom of a shallow dish, covered with a damp paper towel. Twice a day rinse them, shake off excess water and replace in the dish. In about 4 days your sprouts, with or without the beans attached, will be ready for use.

What does the rinsing do?

They need the moisture to germinate, but they can't stay to wet (sitting in water) or else they will rot pretty quickly.
