Soy Bean Sprouts

Soy bean sprouts are young shoots of soy, grown by germinating soy beans. They are tender, juicy, and have a delicate, slightly nutty flavour. In the kitchen, they are used primarily in Asian cuisine, added to wok dishes, soups, salads, spring rolls, and noodle dishes. They require only brief cooking, it is best to add them at the end of cooking or simply blanch them to preserve their crunchy texture. They are rich in protein, vitamin C, and minerals. Available fresh, canned, or in vacuum-sealed packaging.
