It's regarded as "living food" (as it's eaten raw which is the healthiest way to go because all its nutrients haven't been cooked to death) and contains a concentrated amount of phytochemicals - which help protect against disease. They also contain an abundance of antioxidants which is why many cancer patients eat a lot of it. Virgilio, I’ve found info on sprouts that will prove otherwise.

So I know the Victoria market quite well. I lived on Exhibition Street in a serviced apartment so I had my favorite Vietnamese, Chinese and Japanese restaurants nearby. Yes, that's where I saw the bean sprouts on steroids! Virgilio, have no information re: alfalfa sprouts...

Anyway, they're so good and easy to make thus I don't listen to what my doctors tell me. I am partial to alfalfa sprouts which I can eat raw. I like the nutty flavor and the crispy texture. Is it true that most of those sprouts are unsafe? They’re super nutritious but my uric acid level will sure be over the normal range esp. if I add some tofu and soya sauce with my bean sprouts.

The beans sprouts here are rather robust, aren't they? And clean too. One almost does not need to snip off the straggly bits at the ends! No idea how this comes about. Could be due to super-strength pesticides. Nevertheless, this veggie sure is one of my faves! Love my ginisang toge (hope I spelled that correctly!) Hmm, never tried it with chicharon though. Will do so ASAP. Your version looks yummy. Thanks for the tip! :-) Hi Marketman,

Looks good! Have never tried bean sprouts with sili labuyo...yum, gotta love heat in food, especially vegetables!
