Unless they have improved the canned bean sprouts a lot since I tried them they are
not worth the effort of opening the can. Sprouts don't have a heck of a lot of
flavour. It is more of a texture thing, and the canned sprouts are lacking there.

I tried sprouting my own for a while. There were even special containers to grow them
in, though all you needed was a Tupperware tub and some paper towel. I can probably
throw out the left over mung beans that I have had in my cupboard since the year we
moved here (1977) :-)
