mung bean sprouts
this the most common type of bean sprouts, and the kind i would recommend using for most recipes. they are available in both asian and western groceries.
soy bean sprouts
soy sprouts look very similar to mung bean sprouts, but taste terrible. i would not recommend using them for anything. please let me know if you find a use for this kind of bean sprouts.
