Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain well-grown strong soybean sprouts having thick stalks, by placing a rooting mat on the perforated bottom plate of a box-shaped container, seeding a number of soybeans on the mat, placing a straw mat thereon to shield the bean from light, and sprinkling water to the mat at intervals of several hours. CONSTITUTION:A number of holes 3 are bored to the bottom plate 2 of the box- shaped container 1, and a rooting mat 4 is placed on the bottom plate 2. The mat 4 is seeded with a number of soybeans, and a straw mat 6 is placed on the beans to shield the beans from light. When the mat is sprinkled with water at intervals of several hours, the sprout of the soybean takes place and the root is extended in the mat 4 to enable the sufficient absorption of the fertilizer impregnated in the mat 4 and obtain the well-grown strong soybean sprouts 7 having thick stalks. The sprouts are collected together with the mat, and packed in a vinyl bag. Since the sprout spreads its root in the mat, it can be transported to a distant district without drooping for about 20 days, and an excellent soybean sprout having high commercial value can be obtained.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a method for producing soybean sprouts. The conventional method for producing soybean sprouts is to sow soybeans at the bottom of a box container and then sprinkle them with water at 111°C for several hours to germinate them, but soybean sprouts produced using this method Since there is no bed for roots to grow, the roots cannot spread, and nutrient absorption is poor, resulting in small stems, which are not strong enough to grow, and have the disadvantage that they wilt quickly after being harvested and lose their commercial value as soybean sprouts. be.

Therefore, this invention spreads a rooting mat (commercially available nursery mat) on the bottom of a box container, sows a large number of soybeans on top of it, and then stacks the box container covered with a straw to block out the light. We propose a method for producing soybean sprouts that involves curing and germinating the sprouts by sprinkling them with water every few hours.

To explain the example using figures, a large number of holes 3 are made in the bottom plate 2 of a box container 1, a mat 4 (commercially available nursery mat) is spread on the bottom plate 2, and a large number of soybeans 5 are sown on it. If you spread 6 evenly on top of it and let it cure by sprinkling water every few hours, the soybeans will grow into soybean sprouts 7 and the 6 will rise upwards.

When soybeans are cured in the manner described above, they germinate, have good rooting within the mat, fully absorb the fertilizer in the mat, and produce strong soybean sprouts with thick stems and good growth. If packed in a plastic bag, it is possible to obtain excellent soybean sprouts with high commercial value that will not wilt for about 20 days even if transported over long distances to allow them to take root.
