Mung Beans 1 Kg (Gluten-Free)

Mung beans are a type of legume known for their small, green-skinned, and oval-shaped grains. Naturally gluten-free, they are widely used in both Asian and Mediterranean cuisines. Their soft texture and slightly sweet flavor make them a perfect addition to many dishes when cooked. They are particularly popular in salads, soups, vegetable dishes, and meatball fillings.

Mung beans retain their shape without falling apart when boiled, making them a popular choice in cold salad recipes. Their cooking time is shorter than other legumes, making them a practical alternative. They can be used as a rice pilaf, vegetable dish, or side dish. They can also be sprouted and enjoyed fresh in salads and sandwiches.

Soaking the beans in water for a few hours before cooking softens them more quickly and evenly. When boiled, mung beans develop a creamy interior while their outer shell cracks slightly. This provides a balanced texture in both hot dishes and cold dishes.

Its naturally gluten-free structure makes it a suitable legume option for those with gluten sensitivities. When combined with aromatic spices, it can be used to create satisfying and balanced meals. It can also be combined with other grains to create mixtures similar to pilaf or ksr.
