Mung Beans
Small legumes with an intense olive green color, prized in Asian cuisine for their natural sweetness, smooth texture and excellent digestibility.
Versatile and nutritious, these beans can be eaten cooked whole, sprouted as fresh shoots, or ground into flour. Ideal for preparing Indian dal, salads, soups, or as a base for veggie burgers, they adapt to a wide range of culinary traditions.
They stand out for their high protein content, soluble fiber, and essential minerals such as iron and potassium. A light option among legumes, they don't require soaking and maintain their shape during cooking, offering a nutritious and easy-to-prepare alternative to incorporate into your daily diet.
