About Green gram

Green gram, also known as mung bean, is a small, nutrient-dense legume originating from India and widely used in Asian cuisine. Packed with protein, fiber, vitamins, and essential minerals like magnesium and potassium, it serves as an excellent plant-based protein source for vegetarians and vegans. Green gram is low in fat and rich in antioxidants, which support immune function and help reduce inflammation. Its fiber aids digestion and promotes satiety, making it beneficial for weight management. With a low glycemic index, it is suitable for those managing blood sugar levels. Commonly consumed as whole beans, sprouts, or ground into flour, green gram is used in soups, curries, salads, and desserts. While generally healthy, excessive consumption without proper preparation may lead to digestive discomfort due to its high fiber content. Its versatility and nutritional profile make green gram a staple in nutritious diets globally.
