I Didn’t Know That!!! It’s Experimento Time!

Whilst eating beansprounts one day, a random statement came up…. I so didn’t know this… Did you know this?

Beansprouts come from green beans aka “look dow” - literally translated in Cantonese, aka Mung beans! When I heard this statement - I was like, ‘You’re telling me that beansprouts are from the same green beans in the green bean soups? Also, I didn’t know that if you removed the green skins, these green beans are light yellow in colour!

So whilst finding out more info: I found out that beansprouts are germinated by leaving them watered with 4 hours of daytime light and spending the rest of the day in the dark,over the period of a week.

So, I asked the following qns…. So, if green beans germinate into beansprouts, what do red (azuki)beans give? How about black beans? Yellow beans? No one could answer!

So, let’s do an experiment! Let’s buy some green beans, red (azuki) beans, black beans, and yellow beans… and let’s try and grow something!!! Hey, maybe they all give some type of beansprout?!?!? I am so confused now!!!
