The famous world explorer, Captain Cook, had a secret weapon. As an experienced seafarer, he was aware of the pitfalls of long ocean journeys. One of these was the problem of storing enough food for trips that could be months long.

How did he solve the problem? He supplied his crew with bean sprouts! He was aware of the nutritious value of sprouts, so as he and his crew sailed, they grew a constant supply of a tasty and nutritious staple.

Mung Bean sprouts have:

4 times as much protein as bell peppers

4 times as much Vitamin C as eggplant

9 times as much carotene as radish

6 times as much calcium as sweet corn
