Asian soup legume
Mung bean is a small, green legume widely used in Asian cooking.
The beans are eaten whole, split, or ground into flour.
Most familiar in the West are mung bean sprouts—the crunchy white shoots common in stir-fries and on sandwiches: Add a handful of mung bean sprouts to the pad thai.
