ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and a method to provide accelerated germination of seed sprouts specifically mung beans. The seed sprouts are placed in a closed vessel, soaked and then have air blown through a layer of seeds and showered at predetermined intervals. The method comprises forming a layer of seeds on a screen in an enclosed vessel, soaking the seeds with water plus additives, then humidified air is blown through the layer of seeds, and water plus additives are sprayed at intervals while the air is being blown through the vessel. Temperature of the vessel is controlled during the operation by heating both air and water sprayed onto the seeds.
