I need some beansprouts for a dish later in the week but I forgot to get some from the supermarket at the weekend (plus they usually have packs containing way too many) but there are some mungbeans in my larder. ChatGPT gave this response to my question "How to get bean sprouts from mung beans and what weight of sprouted beans for every gram of mung beans used?"
"To sprout mung beans into bean sprouts, rinse the mung beans thoroughly and soak them in water for about 8-12 hours. Then, drain the water and transfer the soaked beans to a container with drainage holes. Rinse them with water twice a day and keep them in a warm, dark place. In about 2-5 days, they should sprout into bean sprouts.
"Regarding weight, typically, you can expect about a 1:4 ratio of sprouted beans to mung beans used. So for every gram of mung beans, you would yield approximately 4 grams of sprouted beans. However, this can vary slightly depending on factors like the sprouting conditions and the specific batch of beans."
Does this answer/method make sense?
