Freshly sprouted moth (muth) beans 🌱
(Vigna aconitifolia) — shown here at peak vitality.
Sprouting dramatically boosts their nutritional value by increasing protein bioavailability, B-vitamins, and antioxidant activity, while reducing anti-nutrients that can interfere with mineral absorption.
Moth beans are especially rich in the essential amino acids lysine (supports tissue repair, immunity, and collagen synthesis) and tryptophan (a precursor to serotonin, linked to mood, sleep, and nervous system health). Their high dietary fibre content supports gut health and blood sugar balance, while their naturally low glycaemic load makes them ideal for metabolic health.
Sweeter and more delicate than mung beans, they’re a quiet powerhouse of nourishment—especially when sprouted.
You deserve to feel better ✨
