Mung Beans Organic
One of the most cherished foods in Ayurveda, where they’re eaten to balance all three doshas, mung beans are loaded with natural goodness, including protein and dietary fibre! With their mild-sweet flavour, they’re super versatile and are great hot or cold in just about anything.
HOW TO USE
Soak overnight. Add 1 cup of beans to 4 cups boiling water. Cover and simmer for 40-60 minutes, until tender. Do not add salt while cooking, as this can make outer skins of legumes tough.
- Soaked beans can be added directly to soups and hotpots to cook.
- Combine with rice to make khichari.
- Make a delectable paste, often used in Asian cooking.
- Add to salads
Organic Mung Beans are wonderful for fresh sprouts:
Simply soak 1/2-3/4 cup of beans in a jar or bowl of cold water for 8 hours, or overnight. Drain and rinse thoroughly. Cover with mesh or cloth. For best results, secure cloth with elastic band and place jar on 45o angle to allow continued draining and air flow. Rinse and drain twice a day. Mung Sprouts will be ready to eat in about 2 days, and can be refrigerated for 2-4 days.
