I thought I had added this already, but can't find it! Making moong sprouts is easy. Makes a good addition to salad or stir fry. Here's one way to do it:
Continue to grow until they begin rooting into the cloth. Finally, leave them in a light source such as a sunny window, so they can manufacture chlorophyll (in other words, turn green), but be careful to not let them dry out.
Here's a favorite recipe:
SPROUTED MUNG SALAD
INGREDIENTS:
1 c moong sprouts
DRESSING:
1/2 c almonds
1/2 c sunflower seeds
1/2 c sesame seeds
1 large cucumber

1/4 t yellow hing (1/8 t regular)
1/4 t dried dill weed
salt (1/4 t per cup of finished dressing or as desired)
black pepper (opt)
sour cream (opt)
PREPARATION:

Pour over servings of moong sprouts or mix together for a sandwich filling
- Start with a cup of moong beans and soak overnight.
- Drain and leave in a cheese cloth (or clean, thin cotton cloth) in the kitchen hanging where you will see it.
- Each time you see it add water and let it drain.
- In a couple days they'll start to sprout.
