Bean sprouts are a very common food in our daily life. There are mainly two types: soybean sprouts and mung bean sprouts. However, many people encounter the problem that bean sprouts do not grow thick when planting bean sprouts. So how to grow mung bean sprouts without rotting? What is the situation when soaked bean sprouts do not grow thick? The following editor will explain them one by one, hoping to help you.

How to grow mung bean sprouts without rotting

First, soak the washed beans in boiling water overnight until they swell and crack. Then change the water and spread the beans in a leaky container. Note that only a thin layer is needed. Then wet a towel with warm water and cover the beans. Cover them completely. Then put the lid on them. However, do not soak them in water, otherwise they will either not sprout or rot. Then place a heavy object on top to press them down. The heavier the better. This will produce thicker sprouts. Be careful not to let the beans see the sun, otherwise they will turn green immediately.

Why are the soaked bean sprouts not growing thick?

When growing mung bean sprouts yourself, you must put something heavy on top to press them down. If you don't, the bean sprouts will grow very thin and have many roots. But don't press them too hard. Change the water twice a day and don't let the temperature be too high. If the temperature is too high, the roots will turn red.

How to avoid your bean sprouts being thin and short

1. Wash the beans less often. Make sure to wash them at least once in the morning and once in the evening every day. Three to four times is ideal. If you want the bean sprouts to grow fast, use warm water at 35 to 40 degrees. If you wash them less often, the bean sprouts will not only grow thin, but also taste old and bitter, and have many weak roots.

2. Don't let the bean sprouts grow vertically in one position. When washing, disrupt their positions and let them grow horizontally and vertically. This will make them thicker than if they grow vertically.
