Mung Bean Sprout

Mung Bean Sprouts are the crunchy, young shoots of mung beans commonly used in East and Southeast Asian cuisines, popular in stir-fries, salads and as a fresh garnish. They are prized for their crisp texture and mild, slightly nutty flavor. Nutritionally, Mung Bean Sprouts are very low in calories and fat while providing a modest amount of plant protein and are a notable source of folate at 60ug per 100g. Health context They bring fiber and micronutrients (vitamin C and vitamin K among them) for relatively few calories, and their protein has a good amino-acid profile for a vegetable source — making them a light, nutrient-dense addition to meals that can help with fullness and micronutrient intake.
