I've read pretty consistently that you should only use 'sprouting' seeds/beans for growing your own sprouts. The justification is that normal seeds/beans have been treated in one manner or another to avoid sprouting. I had heard the same case given for potatoes.
But then the other day I was at the health food store and I noticed a bin of 'organic mung beans.' They were something like $1.50 a pound. Organic eh? Well that should indicate a lack of any treatment, right? So I bought a couple tablespoons worth and brought them home to sprout.
As the image above can attest, they sprouted just fine. This creates unbeatable savings as a pound of mung beans now costs less than a little box of sprouts you'd buy at a store, but a pound of mung beans creates an enormous amount of sprouts!
This is just another lesson of why it is good to doubt.
