Answer 1

Hello, prismaticed

According to our dictionary, it's:

frijoles germinados o judías germinadas

Answer 2

From a recipe for chow mein:

2 tazas Brotes de soya(soja)

the two word may be synonymous or regional

If you look up soya in our dictionary it says soja.

Answer 3

se dice: "brotes de soja"

But these are soya sprouts - it's not the same. - Issabela, DIC 3, 2009

If these are the beansprouts as used in Chinese cooking, brotes de soja is correct. I googled a foto de brotes de soja. - 00f2b5a1, DIC 3, 2009

Answer 4

I'm with Issabela on this one. The beans may or may not be soy, therefore "Frijoles germinados" works for any kind of bean.

Gekko, I realized you did not notice that this is a very old thread. I'm closing it. - 00fac92a, AGO 30, 2017

Answer 5

Here in Mexico they're call soya germinado. In fact I have a bag of them in front of me. Alfa Uno who products various sprouts has just started selling packaged soya germinado. Before yesterday's trip to the supermarket, I'd only seen soya germinado sold in bulk.
