Mung beans when pre spouted , can be eaten raw in salads or tossed with spices and eaten straight. I like to steam them add add them cooked to millet or a "bowl" . According to Ayurvedic medicine, mung beans considered medicinal and one of the keys to a long, vibrant and healthy life.• Green Mung Beans are considered to be “sattvic” – a heavenly, good food due to the ease in absorption and digestion. • They are a tridoshic food due to the ancient super bean’s ability to be eaten by people of all dosha’s – the vata, the pitta, and the kapha.
This freezes well and can also be mixed with roasted cauliflower and served as a dhal.
