Ultimately, the best time/length to eat sprouts could be determined by mere experimentation. Experts suggest growing sprouts and eating them at different ages/ lengths. Numerous methods have been exploited to sprout beans. In Oriental countries, beans are soaked for eight hours and then placed in tubs or crockery jars that have sufficient drainage. They are sprinkled with water at room temperature three times a day, where in about four to six days, would then be ready for use.

The Chinese, most specially, have mastered the art of sprouting; devising their own procedures, but somehow keeping the general principles of soaking and sprinkling. The simplest method for growing bean sprouts is in one’s kitchen, using a wide-mouth jar.

However, techniques for the commercial production of bean sprouts are quite different, but the philosophy is also the same. According to the Michigan State Bulletin website, the beans are waterlogged at 70°F for 8 hours and then relocated to huge uncovered metal tanks in quantity that may produce at least 12 inches of beans. A mechanical sprinkling device hoses down the sprouts by moving from one end of the tank to the other once every four hours.

Sprinkling holds the sprouts at a restrained temperature, washes out accrued carbon dioxide and replenishes the oxygen reserve. Under these conditions, the sprouts surface from the seed coat during the first day of sprouting. Growth becomes rapid and the sprouts reach the desired size in about five days.

Sprouts 3.5 inches long with a diameter of 1/8 inch are considered best.

On the other hand, Mr. Lai Wen Chi of GMP/ PAKTECH Inc. claims growing bean sprouts need not be this intricate. This Taiwanese inventor introduces the “do-it-yourself” organic way of planting and harvesting healthy bean sprouts.

“In Taiwan, I noticed that plants and vegetables were mostly grown in farms. There was a problem with insecticides as well, and the hazards they entailed,” he explained.

And it wasn’t long until his idea of an automatic bean sprout machine was born. He continued, “I thought, why not plant vegetables inside the house instead, and organically? A machine that’s fully automated and won’t require electricity. A practical way of taking care of plants where one doesn’t really have to take care.”

GMP/PAKTECH Inc.’s automatic bean sprout machine (for a small sprout family) comes in six different sizes and particular uses.

The Do-It-Yourself bean sprout model that weighs less than two kilos requires nothing more than manual watering. The small family/electricity control and environment protection model shares a principle a lot similar to cooking rice. This includes a timer, a water tank and a submersible pump to supply water, making it more suitable for Lucerne and wheat. All that one needs to do is place the seed inside the sprout box and set the time.

The small family/alternating current electromagnetic valve model weighs 10 kilos and uses minimal electricity to control the water quantity. This is ideal for medium-sized businesses, since the water can be easily drained after watering the sprout. The small family/water trunk, faucet dual-purpose model is made up of three pieces of water trunk. This uses no electricity at all and is suitable for family use. It’s also equipped with extra functions connected to the waterway tube to help you save on water.

The direct electromagnetic current valve model works shortly after installing direct current electromagnetic valves to the outlet faucet. It can regularly supply water that can be drained soon after watering. The smallest model, which is sold at P200 a piece, is a boat-like bean sprout machine that weighs less than 150 grams. It would appeal to both adults and children because of its minute size and may be put on a desk or by the bedside.

“The bean sprout machines do not need any additives. It works on pure water and passable sunlight. People may also grow sprouted rice in it, which would just take one to two days,” continued Lai.

This Taiwanese inventor admits that these sprout machines are already on their fifth generation. It has undergone a lot of changes and developments since their inception 24 years ago.

He added, “This technology, which I believe, is still new here in the Philippines, can grow practically all kinds of vegetable seeds, even weeds or wheat grass for juice. It can also have a yield of about three to four kilos. It doesn’t require any fertilizer, so it’s totally organic.”

Since photosynthesis aids seeds to sprout greener plants and vegetables, Lai suggests starting by picking good seeds. This lessens the chances of the sprouts getting sick along the process. And in the long run, provide you a harvest greener than the farms can produce.

豆芽菜怎麼挑 & 綠豆食譜分享

★黑心食品層出不窮，就連價格低廉的豆芽菜早已“名列榜單”，讓民眾大嘆「還有什麼東西可以吃？」事實上，豆芽菜熱量低、高纖又清熱，且幾乎所有人都曾在小學時期實驗課都種過，但如何才能讓芽菜萌發地又白又胖？免於黑心廠商濫用各種“添加劑”的威脅？
★豆芽菜怎麼挑？根莖比例1：1
豆芽菜的養分來源全來自種子，藉助水分的幫助而萌發成芽，正常情況下，豆芽根部和莖部的比例約1：1，莖部顏色呈現自然的微黃色，從根部到芽葉，整株可食用。
★不過，部分業者為了提升豆芽菜的賣相，常不當添加生長激素或漂白劑，讓顏色變得瑩白，或是栽培過程使用滅根劑，讓根部長不出來，長期攝取都可能危害健康。

[綠豆食譜分享 清熱解暑]
★綠豆粥：將綠豆洗凈，加入少量水，水開後再煮5至10分鐘，加入適量的水和米一起煮，煮至米熟和綠豆開花即可。為了節省時間，可以先將綠豆泡幾個小時或者先將綠豆炒熟，將綠豆炒熟後，煮出來的綠豆粥香味會更濃。
★南瓜綠豆湯：南瓜最好選用老南瓜。老南瓜去皮切塊，和綠豆洗凈後一起放入高壓鍋中，加水，大火煮至高壓鍋蓋冒氣，轉小火，再煮5至10分鐘即可食用。可根據個人對甜味的偏好加入白砂糖，也可置於冰箱內，隨需隨取。
★綠豆漿：綠豆漿的做法十分簡單。先將綠豆浸泡10至12個小時，撈出，和適量冰糖一起倒入豆漿機裡，加入適量水（不要超過最高水位線），選擇豆漿模式。十幾分鐘後，綠豆豆漿就做好了，冷、熱、鹹、甜都可以自己選擇。http://www.chinatimes.com/newspapers/20140907000803-260307
