Plucked Bean Sprouts

Plucked bean sprouts refer to sprouts that have had their stringy roots and husk-like tips carefully removed, leaving behind only the clean, tender stems and leaves. This extra preparation step enhances their texture and presentation, making them more pleasant to eat—especially in delicate dishes like salads, stir-fries, or spring rolls. Plucking the ends gives the sprouts a smoother bite and a cleaner look, often preferred in refined home cooking or restaurant-style meals. Though time-consuming, it’s a small touch that elevates both flavor and appearance.
