Mung Bean Sprouts ?

[tiggertastic]

Can you have these on on phase 1, they are not mentioned in any of the stages by this name, however in the atkins booklet they are 2.1Net carbs per 1/2 cup (which seems good)

also i have seen people say they have spicy sausage, like pepperoni sticks? are these ok?

The mung bean sprouts are the "bean sprouts" listed in the "other" vegetable list.

It's only been within the last 4 or 5 years I've noticed that they are being called "mung bean sprouts", rather than just bean sprouts. But then, I've seen soybean sprouts in international stores lately too, so I guess they need to specify what kind of bean sprouts they are.

Regarding pepperoni and other sausages, you really need to read the label to see if the product has sugar (ie dextrose, corn syrup solids, etc.) or other starches (modified corn starch, etc.) to see if that particular pepperoni is OK for Atkins.
