Low Calories, Variable Protein

Detailed description

All types of bean sprouts are low in calories, but the amount ranges from 31 calories in 1 cup of mung bean sprouts to 85 calories in soybean sprouts. Soybean sprouts have 9 grams of protein, which is three times more than you'll get in mung bean sprouts. Both types contain a small amount of fiber and carbohydrates. Mung bean sprouts are fat-free, compared to soybean sprouts, which only have 5 grams of fat in 1 cup.

Sprouts Deliver Vitamin C

If you cook and eat the whole bean, you'll only get a trace of vitamin C. When the beans are sprouted, they become good sources because the amount of vitamin C increases as the seed germinates, according to the University of Nebraska. In a 1-cup serving, soybean sprouts contain 10.7 milligrams and mung bean sprouts 13.7 milligrams of vitamin C. Your body needs a regular supply of vitamin C to ensure it has enough of the antioxidant to neutralize free radicals. Women should consume 75 milligrams daily, while men need 90 milligrams of vitamin C each day.
