Beans sprouts

There were some beans left over that didn’t get soaked overnight. We tossed some in a black plastic container with a six inch diameter and nine inches tall to see if they would grow. They persisted in its stubborn, alkaline soil and broke green shoots with delicate curves of leaves. With infrequent watering, they grew in the hot sun.

How did these leaves unfurl so quickly?
