自己動手種綠豆芽---非大茶壼法

It's late spring now and also suitable time to eat mung bean seedlings (綠豆芽). So, I try to plant mung bean seedlings myself and maybe to reduce the cost of vegetables.

After searching how to plant mung bean seedlings on the web, I don't find a method suitable for me because I lack of a big teapot. So, I use a simple way to plant mung bean seedlings. Just need a plastic bottle with a lid. That's enough.

First, mung bean seeds are soaked in water for one night.


Second, germinated mung bean seeds are transferred into a lunch box or a plastic bottle with a lid. An appropriate amount of fresh water is added into the container. Gently shake and pour lots of water out of the container. Put the lid on the container (not closed) and let seedlings grow under dark conditions. Irrigation must be done twice a day.

One week after the beginning, mung bean seedlings can be harvested and eaten.
