Re: Chinese bean sprouts vs mung bean sprouts

[Guest guest]

Hi, , the mung sprouts that you see in the market are grown

hydroponicaly. That is why they are tall and thin. You can get yours like

that if you use a sprouting machine. If you spout in jars or a device

that's like a jar, the sprouts will always curl around. There is a

sprouter, EasySprout. that can give you tall sprouts, but you can only

grow a few seeds at a time. If you crowd them, they will wind around each

other trying to get to the light. I think that you will find that the

thick, short beans are just as tasty as the tall thin ones. Especially if

you grow your own.

Hi, nice to be here. We cook chinese and use these long thin, almost

white or translucent bean sprouts. They are common in all markets.

But

they are different or seem so, from mung bean sprouts which are thick

and short. We want to sprout the long thin ones. Does anyone know

what

I am talking about and what do I call them in order to find the

seeds.

thank you

,

The one you got from the market are long and with very short roots right ?If

the one you bought are with short roots,they are grown with plant hormones

added.You cannot grow them at home.

If you want to grow long sprout but with long roots,try the following

methods.

1.Soak the mung bean for 8 hours.may be 200 grams for a start

2.Drain the water and pour the beans into a bucket of size 10 litres with

the bottom of the bucket punctured with many holes.These holes are meant to

drain away the water when you rinse the mung bean.Puncture as many holes

possible ,but ofcouse the holes must be smaller than the beans,otherwise the

beans will slip away.

3.Cover the bucket with a piece of paper or cardboard,so that the beans are

not exposed to light and also help to maintain the wetness of the beans.

4.Rinse the bean 4-5 times a day ,just by pouring water over the beans.

5.Keep the bucket in a cool dark place,may be the bathroom will be ideal.

6.The sprout shall be ready in 3 days.You may grow them for another day,but

the roots are very long.These sprouts are very tasty and very neutritious.

7.Try ,and please let me know if face any problem.

8.GOOD LUCK.

Most commercial growers use 500 gallon vats and use C2H4/ethylene gas to enhance

growth I am unaware of any comm. growers using hormones.If you have any info. on

this i would like to see it,they do it to cows so why not plants.The ethylene is

naturaly produced during the ripening of fruits and veggies.Semis are equiped

with tanks to ripen green produce just before arrival at the store.Thus the

tomato looks ripe but it doesnt taste that way.

Is there any difference in the nutritional aspect of round curly mung beans bs

long straight ones?. Mine are grown in a jar and have the mung bean still

attached when I eat it. I actually prefer the crunchy flavor of this vs the

ones in the store.

Not that I know of.. its made in Thailand but they have some made in Taiwan...

it is clear and kind of snot like (yummy) and you have to eat it with chop stix

cause it is doesn come apart easy so you pick it up with the chop stix and take

what you want... its pretty good and contains no fat no sugar... 12% carbs 4%

fiber... its good no real biggie but it is something to put in my miso...

That's the ones - I've been eating them for years.  Good stuff.  The various

servers and menus called them Glass Noodles, because they're as clear as glass.

yeah I like them .. .I left out that they have no salt so although they are not

a health food they are not bad for you...kinda neutral... where do you get

yours?... we are into noodles...my father is 94 he loves soup and he loves

noodles and most things I feed him... he likes miso tofu shiitake srooms... I'm

always looking for new things he might like that are not meat or fish although I

feen him those too... I have to, kinda of... oh he loves my germinated brown

rice grits to the point where it becomes a chore to make everyday... but it's

not so bad... he likes alfalfa sprouts too... I like to have a lot of alfalfa

sprouts around so I can jucie them on top of carrot juice... I love that with

cucumver juice... the alfalfa makes a nice green froth on top that is very

appealing...

I get them at Marukai Market, here in Southern California. They have four colors

of miso - I like the red one's rich flavor.  Do you germinate your brown rice

grits?  Your dad is eating like a king - great job!

Um, Jeff...I am a retired trucker. I drove a " semi " OTR (coast to coast,

and mexico border up into canada). I have no idea what you are talking

about when you refer to " tanks to ripen green produce " . Tomatoes ripen in a

truck just like they do in a brown paper bag on your counter. They

naturally release ethylene gas, which stimulates ripening. Being in an

enclosed space keeps them surrounded in their own natural gas that come from

the tomato itself.

Some vermicelli is indeed made from mung bean. Also known as cellophane

noodles, or glass noodles. They are found in Asian markets, and are quite

good in soups, but fairly flavorless on their own.

Then again friends, " google is your friend " . Google 'bean vermicelli' and see

what it says. Then go to an Asian Mkt and buy some.

Yes but, how were the grown? What chemicals were used? Who touched them? Did

they wash their hands thoroughly?

Oh my Gawd... am I paranoid or what? I think I have reason... What do you want

with your noodles....lead or a heaping bowl of formaldehyde sulfoxylate .....

yummy

 

In 2004, testing by Chinese authorities determined that some brands of

cellophane noodles produced in Yantai, Shandong were contaminated with lead. It

emerged that several unscrupulous companies were making their noodles from

cornstarch instead of mung beans in order to save costs, and, to make the

cornstarch transparent, were adding lead-based whiteners to their noodles.[2] In

December 2006, Beijing authorities again inspected cellophane noodles produced

by the Yantai Deshengda Longkou Vermicelli Co. Ltd.[3] in Siduitou village,

Zhangxing town, Zhaoyuan city, Yantai, this time determining that sodium

formaldehyde sulfoxylate, a toxic and possibly carcinogenic industrial bleach

which is an illegal food additive in China, had been used in the production of

the noodles.

If you're paranoid, I'm in that club, too. I wasted a good portion of

last night being really upset that we have laws in America *requiring*

the addition of fluoride to the drinking water. Fluoride is more toxic

than lead. (And I was truly wasting time being upset about it as I've

been drinking reverse osmosis filtered water for well over a year now

and I think reverse osmosis removes fluoride and chlorine.)

I understand that .chlorine dissipates when exposed to the air for 10 minutes...

it is the other stuff I'm worried about... lead, insecticides... I have some

good articles at my website about water... Am I allowed to leave the url of the

articles at my website?

But what about fluoride? That's a nasty one. Why are we allowing a

poison that started as a Nazi experimental attempt to induce sterility

in " inferior races " in our drinking water?

And what happens to sprouts that are grown in flouridated water? Do

they filter the flouride, rendering it no longer dangerous for humans

or do they take it in and concentrate it in themselves?

> it is the other stuff I'm worried about... lead, insecticides...

II'm concerned about the stuff that leeches into our drinking water,

but it doesn't make me as angry as the poisons we intentionally put

there.

As far as I know, you're allowed to share URLs. And water quality is

not off-topic since water is an important component of the sprouting

process. I, for one, would be interested to read what you have written

about water.
