About Mung beans

Mung beans are small, green legumes native to Asia, widely recognized for their versatility and nutritional benefits. A staple in Indian, Chinese, and Southeast Asian cuisines, they are often used in soups, stir-fries, curries, and sprouted for salads or garnishes. Rich in protein, fiber, antioxidants, and essential nutrients like folate, magnesium, and vitamins B6 and C, mung beans are a great plant-based option for supporting digestive health, boosting immunity, and promoting sustainable energy. Low in fat and calories, they are particularly popular in vegetarian and vegan diets. Additionally, their high fiber content helps maintain healthy cholesterol levels and steady blood sugar. While generally considered healthy, consuming excessive amounts may cause gas or bloating for some individuals due to their high fiber and oligosaccharide content. Overall, mung beans are a nutrient-dense, heart-healthy addition to a balanced diet.
