It&#8217;s a simple packdown of two batches of mung beans sprouted from dry beans for about four days, 1\/4 cup times two (that is, in two different sproutsing jars). Read around online to find very little about fermenting sprouts, some suggesting salt massaged beginning, comparable to sauerkraut, others suggesting a simple brine over the top, which is what I did, just after this photo&#8211;two tablespoons of kosher salt (just a fuzz less, actually) into a quart of water to heat and dissolve, cool a little bit and then pour over. Two pulls of the de-oxygenating pump to extract air. In the morning, liquid had expanded to overflowing the lid, but otherwise they&#8217;re on their way to what I hope will be sourbliss and nothing rotten or funky or toxic.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7654\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7654\" style=\"width: 644px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"7654\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.earthwidemoth.com\/blog\/2017\/09\/23\/mung-bean-sprouts-fermentation-attempt\/sprouts\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.earthwidemoth.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/sprouts.jpg?fit=2016%2C1512&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"2016,1512\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.2&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;iPhone SE&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1506122561&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;4.15&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;200&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.05&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Mung bean sprouts in quart jar\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Mung bean sprouts, quart packed, just before brining and setting to ferment.&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.earthwidemoth.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/sprouts.jpg?fit=644%2C483&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"size-large wp-image-7654\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.earthwidemoth.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/sprouts.jpg?resize=644%2C483&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"644\" height=\"483\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.earthwidemoth.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/sprouts.jpg?resize=644%2C483&amp;ssl=1 644w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.earthwidemoth.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/sprouts.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.earthwidemoth.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/sprouts.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.earthwidemoth.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/sprouts.jpg?w=2016&amp;ssl=1 2016w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.earthwidemoth.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/sprouts.jpg?w=1288&amp;ssl=1 1288w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.earthwidemoth.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/sprouts.jpg?w=1932&amp;ssl=1 1932w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 644px) 100vw, 644px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7654\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mung bean sprouts, quart packed, just before brining and setting to ferment.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"span-reading-time rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\">\u23f3 Approximate reading time: <\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\"> &lt; 1<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">min<\/span><\/span>Do your best work, bacteria.
