Mung bean sprouts are cheaper than yellow bean sprouts, but the price gap is not big, which is about 0.2-0.5 yuan per Jin. This is because of the same weight of mung beans and soybeans, the former produce heavier bean sprouts. The main difference between them lies in the bean petals, the former is green, the latter is yellow. In addition, the roots of the former are smaller than those of the latter.

Which is more expensive?

In contrast, the price of mung bean sprouts is lower than that of yellow bean sprouts. However, the price gap is not big, which is about 0.2-0.5 yuan per Jin. However, the price of soybeans is about twice as low as that of mung beans. Soybeans cost about 2-3 yuan per Jin, while mung beans cost 4-5 yuan per Jin.

Why is there a price difference?

Although the price of soybeans is relatively low, the water content of its bean sprouts is also relatively low, so the bean sprouts from each jin of soybeans are relatively light. Generally, 1 jin of soybeans can only produce about 6 Jin of bean sprouts. In contrast, mung bean, although its price is higher, but the water content of its bean sprouts is very high, so it is heavier. Generally, 1 jin of mung bean can produce 9-12 Jin of bean sprouts, and even more than 15 Jin can be produced in some areas in the south. So, mung bean sprouts are cheaper.

How to distinguish

1. Color: This is the most intuitive difference. Because bean sprouts are produced by soybean, its bean petals are all yellow. The mung bean sprouts are produced by mung bean. Its bean petals are green. From this point, we can distinguish them intuitively.

2. Rhizome: the root of soybean sprout is thicker, while the root of green bean sprout is thinner.
