Organic Mung Beans

What Are Organic Mung Beans?

Mung beans are used in similar ways as lentils. They have only a slightly longer cooking time averaging about 20-25 minutes. You can find plenty of uses for them in soups, curries and Chinese cooking as they have long been a staple in Asia, where they naturally originate.

Mung Beans like most pulses have a typically sweet yet rich and hearty flavour, they also make divine Bean Sprouts. Its not just me that seems to think this however, as virtually all Bean Sprouts commercially produced come from Mung Beans and Mung Beans alone. As such you have likely consumed them many times more than previously thought...The more you know eh?
