In a jar or bowl, cover beans with lots of water. Put on a loose lid or cheesecloth secured with a rubber band.
After 24 hours, drain and rinse.
Once the water is drained, let the beans sit in the empty jar/bowl, covered. Rinse and drain once or twice a day.
When they being to sprout (grow a tail!) you can use them! This usually takes 36 hrs or less.
Rinse and use right away or store in the fridge for up to 3 days. If soft, the sprouted beans can be eaten raw, or cook like normal and use in your favorite recipe.
