Author	Topic: raw mung bean sprouts?

About the protein quality; the amino acid composition of mungbean sprouts is not in the USDA database, nor in Souce, S.W. et al, Food Composition and Nutrition Tabels. I suspect that the protein quality of Mung bean sprouts will not be very different from that of mung beans, which is 25%. (not good)
