About

Soybean sprouts are a nutritious and economical food, used in China as an “instant vegetable.” Similar to mung bean sprouts but longer and with a large yellow bean seed attached, soybean sprouts add crunchiness and a nutlike flavour to recipes. They are available in Chinese markets, though the more widely available mung bean sprouts, which can be found in most supermarkets, are an acceptable substitute.

The soybean has been cultivated in China for over three thousand years
