About Moong

Moong, also known as mung bean, is a small green legume widely used in South Asian cuisine, as well as in Chinese and Southeast Asian dishes. Originating in ancient India, it is a staple in many vegetarian diets due to its rich nutritional profile. Moong is packed with protein, dietary fiber, antioxidants, and essential vitamins like B-complex, along with minerals such as magnesium, potassium, and iron. It is low in calories and fat, making it a heart-friendly option. Moong is versatile: it can be sprouted for salads, cooked into soups, or ground into flours for various recipes. Regular consumption aids digestion, helps with weight management, and supports skin health. However, excessive intake may cause bloating for some individuals. Whether in dals or desserts, moong offers both taste and nourishment, making it a powerhouse ingredient for balanced meals.
