Pickled Mung Beans?

[OhioHomestead]

Has anyone tried pickling mung beans?  I've been sprouting them for a couple weeks.  I had just finished up a jar of Claussen Mini Dills and didn't want to throw the brine away so I tossed a handful of sprouts in the Classen jar.

I left them overnight and they aren't too bad!   I figure if I do it right (lacto fermenting) they'd probably be even better.

I'm sending ReaRea off to the brew supply shop to pick up some air locks and grommets for my homemade "pickl-it" jars and will give a report if anyone is interested.

I see no reason you can't pickle them or any other beans.

When I first came to the U.S.of A. it amazed me that pickles seemed to only mean cucumbers.  Anything can be pickled.  Even things like zucchini, that tend to go a bit mushy when processed whole, make great chutneys and relishes.  Corn relish?  Green cherry tomatoes, picked whole.  Yum Yum.
Even meats.  Corned beef anyone?  Pickled pig's feet?
I have even pickled those hard, little seckle pears.

Man I'm going through my mung bean sprouts faster than I ever thought.  We're using them on wraps and salads and just straight out of the jar.  I'm also on my second batch of semi-pickled sprouts from the same jar of brine left over from my Claussen dill pickles.  They are really good this way!  Not fermented but a great snack.

I've got another batch of beans in the sprouter that I started today that should be ready to pickle in 3 days.  These I'm going to lacto-ferment.
