Bean sprouts are young shoots that grow from seeds, commonly from mung beans or soybeans. They are crunchy, nutritious, and often used in various dishes, especially in Asian cuisine. These sprouts are rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, making them a healthy addition to salads, stir-fries, and sandwiches. Growing bean sprouts at home is simple and requires minimal equipment. You just need seeds, water, and a container. After soaking the seeds, you rinse them daily until they sprout, usually within a few days. Fresh bean sprouts can enhance the flavor and texture of your meals while providing a boost of nutrition.
