mung beans
Sprouted salad ingredient
Mung beans are small green legumes widely used in Asian cuisines.
They're eaten whole, sprouted, or ground into flour.
Bean sprouts in stir-fries and sandwiches typically come from mung beans.
The beans cook relatively quickly and have a mild, slightly sweet flavor: mung bean soup, mung bean noodles.
