They are made by germinating the beans and a variety of beans can be used to make the sprouts, however moong bean  is the most common. Making sprouts at home is very simple. You just have to wash the beans twice a day and in 5-6 days, you have beautiful sprouts growing in your kitchen. I used a plastic tray to grow my sprouts. I did a few holes in the tray to let the excess water drain. You can use any tray with holes in it. Here is how to grow perfect moong bean sprouts.
