About Bean sprouts

Bean sprouts are tender, crisp shoots that are germinated from beans, typically mung beans or soybeans, and are a staple in many Asian cuisines. Originating from East and Southeast Asia, they are commonly used in stir-fries, soups, salads, and wraps. Nutritionally, bean sprouts are low in calories yet packed with essential nutrients, including vitamin C, vitamin K, folate, and small amounts of protein. They are rich in antioxidants, which help combat inflammation and support overall health. Bean sprouts also provide dietary fiber for digestion and are a good source of magnesium and potassium, contributing to heart and bone health. However, they are highly perishable and carry a risk of bacterial contamination if consumed raw, so proper storage and cooking are recommended. Their fresh, mild flavor and crunchy texture make them a versatile and nutritious addition to a balanced diet.
