Guest guest Posted January 8, 2005 Report Share Posted January 8, 2005 One adavantage to removing the hulls (alfalfa and other small seed sprouts particularly) is that they will keep longer without them. The hulls harbor spoilage organisms that will shorten the storage period. No big deal unless you sprout large batches to store in the fridge.

Guest guest Posted November 6, 2006 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 Joe, If you sprout the Mung beans first, they are very mild flavored. I haven't ever cooked them unsprouted, so I can't say what they would taste like. The sprouts would be good in stir fry, or soup, or just eaten by themselves. Tina in the boonies of Kentucky Joe C: I'd like to add Mung Beans but am afraid of the taste in that it would possibly change the taste a lot. Any opinion on the taste of Mung Beans? ..
