Mung bean sprouts can be eaten raw or cooked. Sprouts are a good source of iron, folate and vitamins K and C. Vitamin C is important in boosting your dog’s immune system and folate is important for cell growth. Bean sprouts also contain enzymes that aid in the digestion of carbohydrates, protein and fat.
Mung beans are not only a great source of folate and iron, but also protein, thiamine and fiber. While beans are a good source of protein, dogs should receive most of their protein from meat. Dried mung beans must be cooked in order for your dog to digest them.
