They’re good with taco sauce.

Peace, love and mung beans baby!!

Just put some Frank’s Red Hot Sauce on them. It works wonders!

Good enough

@Bruno Zeigerts: Sprouted mung beans + chopped onion + salt + cayenne pepper + a little fresh lime/lemon juice

My favorite salad.

If you don’t watch out, you will get mung tongue

I finally started sprouting my own a couple of weeks ago. Now they’re the snack that I eat most frequently. Not exactly a taste sensation, but good enough to provide some happy munching – it’s like there’s a party in my mouth, and only a couple of pretty mellow people were invited.

Basically, any bean can be sprouted, with slight differences in flavor. The two main kinds that are sprouted by the Chinese are the mung bean (the “standard” kind of bean sprout) and soy beans (which are noticeably bigger). IMO, raw bean sprouts are tastier than when they are cooked, but I like them both ways.

Now, there’s always alfalfa sprouts, but I think they taste like what they are – hay. I avoid them 8^(

Even Wizards need their meds.

Then there was my very English aunt who couldn’t face Chinese food because it was full of “little round-headed worms!”
