Bean Sprout

Bean Sprout

Bean sprouts are a common ingredient, especially in Asian cuisine, made from beans by sprouting. You can use it specially with chicken but first you need to stir-fry.

The typical bean sprout is made from the greenish mung beans. In Japanese, the word moyashi refers to, in a strict sense, the mung sprout (the greenish capped ones), and the usually yellow, larger-grained soy sprouts are called mame-moyashi.

The sprouted beans are supposed to be more nutritious than the original beans.

Famous quotes containing the word sprout:

    The knowledge of an unlearned man is living and luxuriant like a forest, but covered with mosses and lichens and for the most part inaccessible and going to waste; the knowledge of the man of science is like timber collected in yards for public works, which still supports a green sprout here and there, but even this is liable to dry rot.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
