Real Food, Mung Beans, 16 oz (454 g)

I decided to try growing my own after so many times wasting store bought bean sprouts as most of them get slimy in the bag quickly and get recalled every once in a while for salmonella. Super easy to grow. I use 1/4 cup, soak in 1 cup water over night, start keeping them in dark next day after draining, rinse with slightly warm water twice a day, drain, let them sleep in the dark. After 3-4 days, sunbathe them for a couple of hours, wash them and get rid of green empty shells floating on the top. Fresh nutritious sprouts every few days. Love it!

Mung beans are recognized for their high nutritive value. Mung beans contain about 55–65% carbohydrate (equal to 630 g/kg dry weight) and are rich in protein, vitamins and minerals.[48] It is composed of about 20–50% protein of total dry weight, among which globulin (60%) and albumin (25%) are the primary storage proteins (see table). Mung bean is considered to be a substantive source of dietary proteins. The proteolytic cleavage of these proteins are even higher during sprouting. Mung bean carbohydrates are easily digestible, which causes less flatulence in humans compared to other forms of legumes. Both seeds and sprouts of mung bean produce lower calories compared to other cereals, which makes it more attractive to obese and diabetic individuals

So easy to germinate and it’s such a tasty superfood! I used my own sprouting jar. Washing it twice a day. After three days it’s ready to eat.

I cooked this with my rice in rice cooker . very healthy

The size of the package was a bit small but the benefits and quality were great

I and my dog loves to eat mung beans sprouts! It tastes nutty and sweet in my opinion and goes well with other sprouts.I put half a cup of seeds in a half gallon jar and it gets me through the week along with another seeds I choose to sprout in a separate jar.

I purchased several of Now Foods Sprouting jars from iHerb along with beans and seeds for sprouting. The mung beans were easy to sprout and so delicious! The beans arrived in a nice package. The cost is very reasonable. I love sprouts of any kind, especially when I grow them myself.
