      Is it okay to eat uncooked bean sprouts?

      ≮nutritional value≯

      Bean sprouts contain lower calories and higher water and dietary fiber.

      In addition to vitamin C generated during the sprouting process, bean sprouts also contain high-quality plant-based protein and rich minerals such as vitamin B1, vitamin B2, calcium, potassium, phosphorus and iron contained in the original beans.

      When beans germinate, part of the starch and protein stored inside the seeds is decomposed under the action of enzymes and converted into sugars and amino acids needed for growth, greatly improving the utilization rate of starch and protein in beans.

      Bean sprouts are tender, delicious and nutritious, but they must be fried before eating. Otherwise, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea , dizziness and other uncomfortable reactions.
