What kind of seeds did you sprout? The large thick ones you see in
the Chinese restaurant dishes and supermarkets are mung bean
sprouts. Alfalfa, clover, mustard and radish sprouts are thin and
threadlike. I have no use for the first two as they have no taste to
speak of but the latter two are flavourful with a bit of spicy bite
to them.
