Either fresh or tinned or maybe even the seeds so I can grow my own.

thanks, I'll try tempo then next time I'm passing. As a matter of interest, where is Supreme? Is it east of Girne? I don't venture out that way often

message 6:



that is what I was going to say

you only need a large jam-jar with a bit of old tights banded to the top

a teaspoonful of mung beans

...and at least three changes of water a day and let drain each time

where they sell the seeds I do not know but surely you can get someone

to carry a few over

re: the messages for growing my own, I did say in the original post about doing that. Didn't know they were called mung beans though. Ones I have always got in the UK have said bean sprouts on the packets of seeds/beans.



Found some fresh ones today, and tinned ones. Tempo just past Bektas. I used them to make some very nice chicken and ham spring rolls. Very tasty. Better than any I have tasted in a restaurant, anywhere.

Mike. You've obviously been Reading up about the benefits of bean sprouts.

for men it can produce your sperm better and for women it is an effective ways to help the fertility of eggs produced. Some research has shown that bean sprouts can also disable seed cancer, large intestine, pancreas and also treatment for leukemia. Not only that, it also contain natural estrogen that can increase bone power, and prevent bone fragility.
