NEW SPROUTING INSTRUCTIONS
( AS OF  FEBRUARY 2008 )
TO GROW BABY MUNG BEAN SPROUTS WITHOUT THE GREEN SEED COVERINGS

 

TONY HORNICK'S FAST AND EASY SPROUT GROWER

 

Thanks to our customers for the idea to develop this method. 

One of our customers came to our health show booth and said that she had discovered how to stop the roots from getting stuck in the screen. She said that she “shook them up” each time she changed the water. As well, other customers have questioned us about how to stop the roots from being lost when pulling the sprouts out of the screen. Thank you for your feedback and comments, it helped.

More than ever, we feel that Tony’s Sprout Grower is the best unit of ALL-----EVER. It makes sprouting so EASY.

Please follow these easy steps.  We have taken some photos to help illustrate.

#1  PLANTING  Place 3 tablespoons of mung beans in the sprouting screen, rinse well using a tap with or without spray attachment. Add 3/4-7/8 cup of cool water (your choice- tap, distilled, reverse osmosis, etc) to the bottom tray, place the screen into the tray and cover with the lid. To make your life easier, place the unit near the tap and at room temperature.

You will notice that the colour of the beans changed once the water was added and that there appears to be less beans in the tray. Do not add more beans or they will be over crowded. In the right photo in the very middle you may be able to see a darker bean which I removed and discarded as I felt that it would not sprout. Check over the beans that you will sprout to try to determine if they will all sprout successfully. If one of those beans does not sprout, you may damage a tooth if you happen to chop down too hard on it later.

#2  WATERING  Approximately 10-12 hours later (or sooner), dump the yellow, smelly water (which Tony calls the after-birth of the  mother seeds) from the tray and thoroughly rinse the sprouts in the screen, shaking around gently. Add 3/4- 7/8 cup of cool water to the tray and cover with the lid.

The picture below shows how much the spouts have grown in that short period of time.  The miracles of nature!!!!. It reminds me of  watching the growth of a flower when the film has been sped up. It makes me ask the question: What is it that causes this growth to happen?-- I am sure that there is no magic in the water, but more of what is stored in that tiny seed. I guess we can also look at ourselves and marvel at the size of the egg and sperm we started from.

#3 WEEDING  (not really)   After approximately another 12 hours (or sooner) (#1), empty the water from the tray, rinse the sprouts before dumping them into the lid (#2) which you will fill with water. Some of the sprouts may stick to the screen (#3), but may gently be pulled off and either eaten or add with the others. Skim any green husks that float to the top of the water. Gently rub and stir the sprouts( very gently as we are handling babies) then skim more husks. When the sprouts are poured back into the screen, many of the husks will clump together(#4), just gently clear the baby white sprouts aside (tilting the screen will help) (#5) and the husks may be removed easily. You may do this procedure a few times, but know that more will come off in the next rinse (in approx.12 more hours) when the sprouts are bigger and force the husks off.

 Spread the sprouts evenly around the screen and add 1/2 cup of cool water (note that you will use a little less water this time) or you may opt not to add any water at all ( I have not tried this, but a customer said that she did this). Replace the lid.

You may use the lid more than once to do the same procedure, depending how quickly you want to remove the husks

             .

#4 Harvesting   After approximately 36 hours (sooner or later) you will do some more weeding as in step #3 and the sprouts will be ready to eat. At this point you have a choice of leaving them a little longer in the tray or of drying them off as well as possible and placing in a container in the refrigerator. Start another tray; we recommend to always keep your Sprouter working for your health. It is the best investment that you can make for your health

The sprouts will last for a week in the fridge, but should be rinse daily to keep fresh. We have never had them last so long as we have eaten them long before a week.

The Grand Finale (above)

Tony requested that I make a tray with absolutely no husks left --- just to show what the end result COULD be. It looks great and they taste just as fresh and juicy, but I have come to the conclusion that it is really not worth all of the effort.

We have far better ways to spend our time on this earth. The lesson is: remove just as many of the husks as you can EASILY,  keep on sprouting to improve or maintain your health.

Many Blessings to all of our sprouters, wishing you much Love with Gratitude, Glenda
