Green Mung Beans

Cultivated and enjoyed for thousands of years, mung beans are a staple in the Ayurvedic kitchen. They can be slow cooked into a hearty stew, ground into a gluten-free flour, or sprouted for a crunchy and nutritious topping or snack.

Cooking Instructions:

Sort 1 cup green mung beans and soak for 4–8 hours or overnight.* Rinse thoroughly, place in a pot with 4 cups water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until the beans are very soft, about 30–40 minutes. Add more water as needed. Makes 4 servings.

*If using unsoaked beans, increase cooking time and add more water. Visit our recipe page for additional recipes, cooking tips, and more!
