Bean sprouts, commonly sourced from mung beans, are a nutrient-rich ingredient with origins in Asian cuisine. These crunchy sprouts are low in calories yet packed with essential nutrients like vitamin C, vitamin K, and folate. They also supply a modest amount of protein and fiber, supporting digestion and overall health. Bean sprouts are an excellent source of antioxidants, which help combat cell damage and contribute to a stronger immune system. Their high water content makes them hydrating, while their potassium levels aid in maintaining healthy blood pressure. However, due to their moist growing conditions, raw bean sprouts can occasionally harbor bacteria, so proper washing or cooking is advised for safety. Popular in dishes like stir-fries, salads, and soups, bean sprouts offer a light, crisp texture that enhances both flavor and nutrition in meals.
