“Mung beans (Vigna radiata), also known as mung or green gram, are a type of leguminous plant that produces small, green beans. This variety is commonly cultivated in India, South and Southeast Asia, as well as in other regions of the world.

Mung beans have a delicate flavor and soft texture and are used in culinary preparations for a variety of dishes. They can be boiled, fried, added to soups, curries, or salads. Mung beans are also frequently used to prepare a traditional Indian dish called dal.

In addition to their taste, mung beans are a valuable source of nutrients such as protein, dietary fiber, vitamins, and minerals. They are easily digestible and pair well with other ingredients, making them a popular choice for vegetarian and vegan dishes.”
