About Mung beans, mature seeds, sprouted, raw

Mung bean sprouts are the plump, crunchy white sprouts most people simply call bean sprouts — the ones piled into stir-fries, spring rolls, pho and pad thai. They are grown by germinating mung beans for a few days until a thick, juicy shoot emerges, giving a fresh, watery snap and a very mild flavor.

They are light, about 30 calories per 100 grams, yet sprouting boosts their nutrition: they offer vitamin C, folate, vitamin K and a useful amount of plant protein and fiber for so few calories. The germination process also reduces some of the compounds in dry beans that can hinder digestion.

Bean sprouts are added near the end of cooking so they keep their crunch, or used raw as a garnish. As with all raw sprouts, there is a small food-safety caveat — they are grown in warm, moist conditions that can harbor bacteria — so a quick cook is the safer choice for young children, pregnant women and anyone with a weakened immune system.
