Test: Bean Sprouts

I might have to go ahead and try bean sprouts again.
I have some old mung beans in a jar in the pantry.

They are probably 5 or 6 years old but should be ok since they were
stored in the dark and air tight.

Beans thousands of years old found in archeological digs in the Middle East
have been sprouted...you should have no problem ;-)

That's what I figure... :-)

I had some giant red beans I'd been trying to grow in the garden, but
the yield has been poor. They were sent to me by a friend. They are a
few generations down from some that were planted by a team of college
students that removed them from an Aztec archeological site. I don't
remember there exact age. I used to have the typed up file on them that
came with them, but lost it in a hard drive crash...

I don't have any more of the beans. The last batch I planted did not
produce any. Just long vines and pretty red flowers.
