I've been sprouting mung beans for several years without any problems however recently they have been rotting in the sprouter or when sprouted in the fridge.

I'm not doing anything differently - initial soaking overnight then rinsing twice daily and ensuring good hygiene between batches - and have tried beans from two different sources.

Can anyone suggest what might be causing this?

Also, lentils are easy to sprout - are there any other seeds / beans that are as straightforward? I've tried buckwheat & black beans but they've rotted also.

Thanks in advance.

Moved from Food & Drink where we advise you how to cook & eat them. Your query is better suited to here as the locals can better advise you on growing them.
