    The "mung bean sprouts usda" entry in mfp lists 3 g protein per 100g serving.

    I generally trust the USDA nutritional info

    This is for raw (fresh) sprouts, if you go to the USDA database. OP, I'm seeing canned sprouts on the USDA database as only 1.4 g protein per 100 g serving; and 2.03 g protein per 100 g boiled mung bean sprouts (honestly didn't know people did that), so this may be one reason you're seeing different values?
