About Monggo

Monggo, also known as mung beans, is a small green legume commonly used in Asian cuisine. Originating in India, it has since become a staple in many Filipino, Chinese, and Southeast Asian dishes. Loaded with plant-based protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals, monggo is a nutritious addition to any diet. It is particularly high in folate, magnesium, and antioxidants, which support heart health, aid digestion, and boost immunity. Mung beans are also low in calories and cholesterol-free, making them ideal for weight management and overall well-being. Typically prepared as soups, stews, or savory dishes like "monggo guisado," they provide a hearty, satisfying meal. However, certain dishes may include added fatty or salty ingredients like pork or shrimp paste, which can affect their healthiness. Consumed in moderation and prepared with wholesome ingredients, monggo is an excellent choice for a balanced diet.
