The Origin and Names of Mung Beans
Originally from India, mung beans are one of the oldest cultivated plants in the region. Today, over 200 varieties of mung beans exist, widely recognized as "green seeds." Other names like Lunja beans and Jerusalem beans also refer to these little green gems. Often mistaken for soybean sprouts, mung bean sprouts are distinctly different and have no relation to soy. Discover the rich history and variety of our Organic Mung Beans.
Easy Sprouting of Mung Beans
Mung beans are remarkably easy to sprout, a process far from witchcraft. Soak them in water overnight for about 12 hours, using at least 5 to 7 times the amount of water. Regularly water the sprouts two to three times daily at room temperature. One cup of seeds yields about 7 cups of sprouts. Harvest the sprouts on the third day for the best quality. Unleash the potential of Organic Mung Beans with this simple sprouting technique.
Using Mung Beans and Their Sprouts
Before enjoying, it's crucial to cook mung beans, preferably after an overnight soak. Cooking is straightforward: simmer the beans in water for about 30 minutes. Ready to eat, they're perfect for various dishes. For a touch of authenticity, substitute mung beans in an Indian dal recipe for a unique twist. The cooked beans add a delightful texture to salads, while the sprouts are a fantastic addition to Asian cuisine. Get creative with our Organic Mung Beans!
