Beans (Mung) are a small oriental bean that we rarely see in supermarkets, so we only occasionally have them in our vegan pantry. See more about them below.
Beans (Mung)
More About Mung Beans:
Mung beans are among the smallest of beans. They are quite common in Asia, but are not usually sold in supermarkets in the United States. We purchase our mung beans from our coop, a health food store, or from a specialty food store. Sprouted mung beans are a common ingredient in many Chinese recipes. Mung beans are also used to make cellophane noodles. Whole mung beans can also be used in soup and other recipes. See the nutritional charts below for raw and cooked mung beans.
