Many netizens might think that bean sprouts cannot be eaten raw, but in fact, many vegetables can be eaten cold, which is essentially raw. However, mung bean sprouts must never be eaten raw, or even half-cooked, as they can cause food poisoning.
This is because soybeans contain a toxic compound called daidzin, but this compound is not heat-resistant and breaks down when fully cooked. If it's mung bean sprouts, it's perfectly normal for them to turn green and is completely safe. Moreover, mung bean sprouts can be eaten raw, so half-cooked is certainly fine, but you must pay attention to hygiene. The prerequisite is that they are washed clean and you must ensure that the sprouts are pesticide-free.
This is because many vegetables on the market today contain pesticides. You can't just stop eating everything altogether. However, green beans must be fully cooked before consumption, as half-cooked green beans are toxic.
Bean sprouts can prevent freckles and dark spots, and can whiten the skin. Consuming them in the winter can prevent chilblains and a purplish complexion. Since bean sprouts are so nutritious, to get the most out of their benefits, everyone should still cook them thoroughly before eating.
