Mung bean sprouts

Description

Mung bean sprouts have a delicate, slightly sweet flavor and a crunchy, juicy texture; they appear as white stems with light green seeds at the base, giving dishes a fresh, appealing look. They are low in calories, rich in plant protein, fiber, B vitamins, as well as vitamins C and K, and minerals such as iron, potassium, and magnesium; they contain enzymes and antioxidants that support digestion, immunity, and metabolism, making them a valuable ingredient in a weight-loss diet and beneficial for gut health. Sprouts are suitable for salads, Asian dishes, stir-fries, soups, sandwiches, and wraps, adding freshness and crunch just before serving. Store them in the refrigerator in a perforated container or wrapped in a slightly damp paper towel, using them within 3–5 days; rinse before use and check for any signs of spoilage.
