.sprouted, small yellov/ soy beans, while the one on the right 
holds sprouted mung beans ( Phaseolus aureus ) . Sprouted soy 
beans are larger and finer than sprouted mung beans, but their 
flavor is by far not as fine as the latter. Bean sprouts can 
be raised as a home winter vegetable even in the bleakest 
sections of the world, such as northern Alaska, Labrador, 
northern Siberia, etc. (Meyer.)
