Petite with an eye-catching bright green skin, Mung Beans are an exceptionally nutritious, versatile legume closely related to adzuki beans and cowpeas. Their slightly sweet flavor makes them well-suited to both savory and sweet applications. Mung beans can be used whole or split and hulled, and they are a great legume for sprouting. Native to Southeast Asia, mung beans are a staple in India, China, and other regional cuisines, where they are used in sweet soups, curries, pancakes, and even desserts!
