Mongo Soup, a staple dish in Filipino cuisine, is a hearty and nutritious meal traditionally crafted using mung beans (locally known as "monggo"), spinach or malunggay leaves, garlic, onions, and tomatoes. Frequently enhanced with protein sources like shrimp, pork, or tofu, it offers a savory flavor profile complemented by aromatic spices. Rich in fiber, plant-based protein, and essential nutrients like iron and folate, it supports digestion and overall health. The mung beans are especially beneficial for heart health and energy levels due to their low glycemic index and high antioxidant content. While its ingredients are wholesome, certain variations may include salty seasonings or rich meats, which could increase sodium or fat levels. Naturally versatile, Mongo Soup can be tailored to fit vegetarian or low-sodium preferences, making it a nourishing and comforting option for a balanced diet.
