THE HEALTH BENEFITS OF BEAN SPROUTS:
Normally in previous posts, i always add in some reliable health benefits, so as to refresh./ benefit every reader.. I have not done that for the past month, now i am back to it, with which i feel my post is more complete. Stay tuned.
Double the rate of vitamin B and E
Beans, in the form of sprouts have more vitamins than in the form of seeds.
During germination, the vitamin B increased by 2.5 to 3 times.
Similarly, (anti-oxidant) vitamin E , also increases from 24-230 mg per 100 grams in dried beans TO 117-662 mg per 100 grams in sprouts.
Sprouts are a natural estrogen with estrogen synthesis. Estrogen in the bean sprouts can increase bone density and structure, which helps prevent bone loss (osteoporosis)
Healthy and Wonderful recipe Dear.Thanks for sharing.Luv it.
ReplyDeleteReally do love tofu in whatever recipe-simply satisfying. And bean sprouts - amazing vege!
ReplyDeleteWhen I was in the jungle, we grew our own sprouts.. using guni sacks - sprouted out short and stunted. haha I was told they use certain fertilizers to make it grow fat and succulent?
Anyway, getting fresh supplies from the markets was not easy and if you can find, it was expensive, a small ordinary packet may cost about RM2.50 (small amt enough to mix in fried noodles for 3pax).
When I just got back here, I was not tuned - I asked for RM3 from the vege seller - he looked and me surprised and asked "why so much?" only to realize, it is actually so cheap here - same amount costing only RM0.40!
I had NO idea that bean sprouts helped with bone density! Believe it or not - I actually have some in my fridge right now because I'm going to make a dish with them! Yay!

ReplyDeleteThis reminds me, I need to sprout some beans. I think protein content also increases with sprouting, and many more benefits.
