About Mung beans, mature seeds, cooked, boiled, with salt

The mung bean (Vigna radiata) is a small green legume widely grown and eaten across Asia, prized for its mild, slightly sweet, nutty flavor and how quickly it cooks. It is best known as the source of the crunchy bean sprouts that fill stir-fries, spring rolls, and salads, and its starch is what gives cellophane or glass noodles their signature slippery bite. Nutritionally, mung beans are an excellent plant protein, rich in fiber, folate, magnesium, potassium, and antioxidants, low in fat, and notably easy to digest compared with many other beans.

They are sold whole with their green skins, or split and hulled into yellow moong dal, and are simmered into Indian dals, soups, and porridges, cooked into sweet desserts and puddings across East and Southeast Asia, ground into flour, and sprouted for fresh sprouts at home. Whole beans cook in under an hour, and the split beans need no soaking and break down quickly. Rinse the beans and pick out any grit before cooking, and store dried mung beans in an airtight container in a cool, dry place, where they keep for a year or more.
