Beansprouts, mung, boiled in unsalted water

Mung beansprouts are the young shoots of mung beans. The figures here describe sprouts boiled for 4 minutes in unsalted water. They consist mainly of water and provide small amounts of carbohydrate and protein, along with minerals including iron. Per 100g, they contain 2.8g of carbohydrate, 2.5g of protein, 0.5g of fat and 2.2mg of iron.

Protein supports the growth and repair of body tissues, while iron is needed to make haemoglobin, which carries oxygen in the blood. These unsalted boiled sprouts contain little salt or saturated fat. Added salt, sauces or oil can change the nutritional content of a prepared dish. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.
