Beansprouts are tender, young shoots that grow from germinated beans, most commonly mung beans. Widely used in Asian cuisine, they are popular in stir-fries, salads, soups, and spring rolls, and are prized for their fresh, crisp texture and mild flavor. Nutritionally, beansprouts are a powerhouse; they are low in calories yet rich in essential nutrients like vitamin C, vitamin K, and folate. They also contain antioxidants that support immune health and aid in cellular repair. A good source of fiber, beansprouts promote digestion and can help maintain healthy blood sugar levels. On the downside, beansprouts are prone to bacterial contamination if improperly stored, so they must be handled and cooked carefully to ensure safety. Lightweight, versatile, and highly nutritious, beansprouts are an excellent addition to a balanced and healthy diet.
