For an adult with a 2,000-calorie diet, soybean sprouts will provide approximately 4-5.7% carbohydrates (about 225-325g) needed to be absorbed by the body daily.
Soybean sprouts contain 2.4g of digestible fiber per 100g – around 7% of the recommended daily nutritional value for men and 8.5% for women.

Each 100g of soybean sprouts provides approximately 5.3g of protein – 11% of the recommended daily nutritional value for women and 9.4% for men.

Minerals
Soybean sprouts specifically have a high content of copper, with a cooked cup of soybean sprouts containing up to 316µg (equivalent to 0.32mg). On average, an adult needs to intake about 0.9mg of copper per day. This shows that a cup of soybean sprouts can fulfill about 35% of this nutritional requirement for the body.
