Mungo beans, also known as green gram or moong beans, are small legumes native to India and widely used in South Asian and Southeast Asian cuisines. Rich in nutrients, they are an excellent source of plant-based protein, dietary fiber, vitamins (notably vitamin B6 and folate), and essential minerals like magnesium, potassium, and iron. They are low in calories and fat, making them a heart-healthy choice that supports digestion and helps maintain stable blood sugar levels. Mungo beans also contain antioxidants that may aid in reducing inflammation and promoting overall wellness. Often enjoyed in soups, curries, and salads, they can be eaten whole, sprouted, or ground into flour. While they are generally considered healthy, consuming excessive amounts may lead to digestive discomfort in some individuals. Versatile and nutrient-dense, mungo beans are a staple of vegetarian and health-conscious diets worldwide.
