About Mung Bean
Common legume; good for congee and soups.
Health Benefits of Mung Bean
High potassium 787mg, low fat 0.6g; cooling, hydrating
Mung-bean soup is a summer staple. Mung beans carry antioxidant polyphenols; don't over-boil - the soup is most antioxidant when still green, right when the beans just open and the liquid is clear.
Protein higher than most grains
100g mung beans has 21.6g protein, about 8x rice. Its lysine is high, and with grains it amino-acid complements to raise protein use - common as mung-bean congee/rice.
Pair with grains; amino-acid complementation
Cook mung beans with rice into congee/rice, or sprout them for stir-fries and cold dishes. Mung starch makes sheets (fen-pi) and jelly. A pot of cold mung-bean soup is a refreshing summer treat.
