About 6 months ago i found this site that shows you everything you need to know to sprout beens and seeds including a bunch of how to videos:

I made my own sprouter based on their somewhat expensive easy sprouter. I made it out of 2 stackable plastic cups, One with small drainage holes drilled in the bottom. Also the screw on plastic lid fron an instant coffee container which i drilled holes in. I also made a much larger sprouter using small stackable sterilite contaners. My favorite sprouts are mung beans, garbonzo beans, lentils and black eyed peas. Pinto beans are junk compared to these. Since there is a slight chance of bacterial contamination when making sprouts i allways boil them before eating. I put a bunch in a pan cut up and add a can of soup and more water. boil it, cover the pan and let cool and then eat.
You end up with twice as much food for pennies.
It is good for you too. And it is dense food in it's dry form. I tried sprouting lentils that i have had for over ten years and they worked fine.
pics to follow.
