Growing mucrogreens at home using hydroponics method is a project I have started a week ago. It's such a rewarding hobby. You can select whole green moong to start with. It's easy to grow, maintain and harvest.
Step :1
Day 1
I have soaked a handful of green moong dal(washed it thrice) and after almost 8 hours. You will notice the whole moong has absorbed enough water and now double in size. Drain off the water.
Step : 2
Day :2
Take a sieve or a colander with lots of tiny holes. Place the soaked green moong in it.
Step : 3
Place a plate under the sieve or colander and pour a little water. Use a plate/net or an aracanut plate to cover. Allow the green moong to sprout.
Step : 4
You will see tiny sprouts peeking, you can either spray a little water or gently show the colander /sieve under the running water for a few seconds. Change the water in the plate beneath. Close the container with net or plate. Repeat the process every single day.(Day 2,3,4,5 and 6)
Step : 5
If you wish you can enjoy the moong bean sprouts in your salads almost from 3 rd day as I did. Yet there will be a lot growing on your sieve.
Stepv: 6
Day :7 you will have the bean sprouts had turned into a tiny sapling with tender greenish yellowish leaves and you can harvest the microgreens. Remove the roots, wash and enjoy with your salads, soups and springrolls. It's yum.
