Bean Sprouts

Bean Sprouts

EverydayFresh

Bean sprouts are the tender, crunchy shoots produced by germinating mung beans or soybeans, commonly used in Asian cuisine for their crisp texture and fresh, slightly sweet flavor. These sprouts are nutritionally notable for their high water content and low calorie count while providing modest amounts of vitamin C, vitamin K, and plant-based protein. They are typically consumed raw in salads and sandwiches or quickly stir-fried to maintain their characteristic crunch in dishes like pad Thai and chop suey.
