Then as adults, many of us eat ‘bean sprouts’ in stir-fries with noodles. These are the older brothers and sisters of the young sprouted mung bean. Seeds that have begun to sprout are just at that critical point of growth where they are producing high levels of nutrients such as Chlorophyll, Vitamin C, Folic Acid, Phosphorous, Magnesium and Potassium.
