About Green grams

Green grams, also known as mung beans, are small green legumes native to Asia and commonly used in Indian, Southeast Asian, and Middle Eastern cuisines. Rich in nutrients, they are an excellent source of protein, dietary fiber, antioxidants, and essential vitamins such as folate, magnesium, and potassium. Low in fat and calories, green grams contribute to heart health, aid digestion, and help regulate blood sugar levels. Their high protein content makes them a popular choice for vegetarian and vegan diets. Versatile and mild in flavor, mung beans can be consumed sprouted, boiled, or ground into flour for various dishes such as soups, salads, stir-fries, and desserts. While they're generally considered very healthy, moderation is key—excessive consumption may cause bloating or digestive discomfort for some individuals. Overall, green grams are a nutrient-dense choice for improving overall well-being and supporting a balanced diet.
