The green moong sprout can be prepared with little effort. Soak the moong for 5 to 6 hours in enough water. Then drain the water and cover it with a lid and keep it in a warm place, overnight. Alternatively tie it in a damp muslin cloth and keep overnight. In winter it takes longer time to sprout than in summer.
