Polished halved organic raw mung beans

Mung beans (also known as green beans) have a long history in South Asia, especially in India, where they have been consumed for thousands of years. Mung beans (Vigna radiata) are one of the oldest cultivated legumes and are widely used in the diet of cerebral palsy due to their easy digestibility and high nutritional value.
Polished and halved mung beans are mung beans that have been peeled and halved, so they ripen faster and have a milder flavour. They are traditionally used in dal dishes, soups or even sweet desserts, such as Indian mung dal halwa or the famous kitchari, an Indian brainwashing dish considered a light, balanced and healing food.
These beans are extremely versatile – they can be used in soups, stews, stews or even in pancakes and vegetarian cutlets. Halved mung beans are rich in protein, fibre, vitamins and minerals. They are particularly appreciated by vegans and people following a light or detox diet, as mung beans are good for the digestive system and do not cause gas. They are a great ingredient in everyday healthy meals.

Rinse and soak for about 2-4 hours before cooking.
Boil for about 30 minutes or until tender, using water at a ratio of 1:3.
Add the salt towards the end of the cooking time.
