Mung beansprouts are the young shoots of mung beans. The figures here describe canned beansprouts after draining. They consist mainly of water and provide small amounts of protein and carbohydrate, with very little fat. Per 100g, they contain 95g of water, 1.6g of protein, 0.8g of carbohydrate and 0.2g of salt.
Protein is needed for the growth and repair of body tissues, although beansprouts provide only a small amount. The salt content is worth noting when considering total salt intake, including any sauces or seasonings added during preparation. These figures apply to the drained beansprouts rather than the canning liquid. Full nutrient figures are provided in the tables below.

About these figures
Values are per 100g of the food as described (10 cans). "Trace" means only a very small amount was found. Nutrients that were not measured are not shown. Salt is calculated from sodium.
These figures come from an older part of the dataset that is no longer updated. Original source: MW4, 1978. Values revised for Vegetables, Herbs and Spices Supplement, 1991.
