About Bean shoot

Bean shoots, commonly known as bean sprouts, are tender, crispy shoots harvested from sprouting beans like mung beans. A staple in Asian cuisine, they are frequently used in stir-fries, salads, soups, and spring rolls, adding a refreshing crunch and mild flavor. These shoots are low in calories but rich in essential nutrients, including vitamins C and K, folate, and fiber. They are also a good source of antioxidants and contain small amounts of protein, making them a nutritious addition to meals. Bean shoots support digestion, promote healthy skin, and boost immune function. Their high water content helps with hydration, while their low-fat composition aligns with weight-conscious diets. However, care should be taken with storage and preparation, as improperly handled bean shoots can carry foodborne bacteria. Ensure they are fresh or well-cooked to maximize their health benefits safely.
