I have no idea what yer talking about, but I've tried (unsuccessfully, I
might add) to grow mung bean sprouts in a both pint and quart "wide
mouth" jars (sprouting jars). I usta jes buy mung or soy sprouts at a
distant Asian mrkt, when I still lived in the SFBA.

I think "micro-greens" are merely different types of sprout seeds.

Mung beans are notoriously difficult. Most home sprouters
start with alfalfa or radish.

I first tried more than 40 years ago, and mung beans were pretty much
the only sprout being eaten back then. I gave up after three tries. If
I want fresh sprouts I want them that day. I don't plan my cooking a few
days in advance. Anything stuck into a dark cupboard got forgotten.
Sprouting and I are not compatible.

Here in Hippie Central, we were eating all kinds of sprouts 40-odd years ago.

I'm still quite fond of radish sprouts on an egg salad sandwich, but I
usually make do with finely minced radishes.

That's the problem with sprouts. I didn't want to eat them every day and I
always wound up throwing some out. Nobody else would eat them.
