You can make the sprouts yourself. Leave the beans overnight in water. Then pour the water out and leave for 2-3 days in room temperature. Just water them a bit 2-3 times a day, just only to keep them wet and to protect them from getting rotten. Do not let them stay in the water.
You can let them germinate in the dark too. Then they grow faster and are more flimsy.
