mungbeans

Small green pulses

Mung beans are small green legumes commonly used in Asian cooking.

They're eaten whole, sprouted, or ground into flour.

Bean sprouts in stir-fries and pad thai typically come from mung beans.

The beans cook quickly and have a mild, slightly sweet flavor: mung bean soup, mung bean noodles.
