But the foods themselves are not a new thing. Growing up we grew bean sprouts in a jar in our kitchen. Sprouts of a variety of sorts are common in different Asian cuisines.

If you ditch the nomenclature, the result is "just normal stuff people have been adding to salads and savory dishes for hundreds of years."
Ditto.
You don't even need soil. We used to grow bean shoots in our airing cupboard, on old fashioned blotting paper.
Wet Paper on plate, scatter seeds, put in warm cupboard, keep moist, ready in about a week!
