Ordering Mung Beans

Mung beans are small, green beans with a mild and nutty flavor. They are widely used in Asian dishes, but are also popular in modern vegetarian and vegan cuisine. With mung beans, you can easily prepare a healthy and nutritious meal, from curries and soups to fresh salads.

What are mung beans?

Mung beans come from the mung bean plant, a legume mainly found in India and Southeast Asia. They are known for their high nutritional value and easily digestible structure. Mung beans are rich in protein, fiber, iron, and magnesium, making them an excellent choice for a balanced and plant-based diet.

Preparation

For best results, soak the mung beans for 8 to 12 hours in plenty of water. Then, cook them for 45 to 60 minutes, depending on how soft you want them. They are ideal as a base for a healthy meal or as a filling in stews, curries, and rice dishes.

Culinary applications

• Delicious in Indian dal or Thai curry

• Perfect for making your own bean sprouts (mung bean sprouts)

• Great to combine with rice, vegetables, and herbs

Storage

Store mung beans in a cool, dry, and dark place in a well-sealed jar or bag. This way, they will stay fresh longer and retain their full flavor.
