Bean sprouts are a common vegetable in our life, its taste is crisp, rich in amino acids and vitamin C. Often eaten to help intestinal digestion, remove intestinal garbage, and delay the skin aging, so it is loved by the people. But now there are some toxic bean sprouts on the market, not only no nutrition, but also cause serious harm to the body. So if you can identify toxic bean sprouts, so that we can eat bean sprouts at ease? I personally think you can look at the following aspects:

A smell. In the market to buy bean sprouts, we can pick up the bean sprouts, close to the nose to smell. Normal bean sprouts with a natural fragrance, without any odor. Some vendors will use chemical additives to soak bean sprouts in order to extend their shelf life, so toxic bean sprouts will have the pungent odor of chemicals, and a serious smell will make people feel nauseous and retch.

Two pinch. Normal bean sprouts take a long time to germinate and absorb enough water during the sprouting process. Pinch open juice full, normal color. And soak the chemical reagent of the bean sprouts most of the water has been lost, only the surface is smooth with water. When pinched open, the internal structure is not full, and there will be a strange odor seeping out.

Three look. Observe the surface of the bean sprouts, normal bean sprouts vary in length, uniform color and fullness. And toxic bean sprouts are mostly soaked in chemical additives to grow up, they are generally very long, very thick, and will not grow roots. The color is white, and in some places the color is unevenly distributed.

Overall, we buy bean sprouts best to the big shopping malls and vegetable markets of the regular vendors to buy, do not believe that the roadside suddenly appeared in the mobile vendors. Most of these people will not be responsible for what they sell and are very unprotected.
