Description
Organic mung beans are one of the healthiest sources of plant protein there is. They are antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, high in amino acids, protein, fibre, antioxidants, B vitamins and minerals. Mung beans are easily digested when cooked and sprouted, and are great added to soups, curries, salads, dips and stir-frys. Mung beans need to be soaked prior to cooking.
HOW TO USE
Cooking:
Always soak beans prior to cooking, as it reduces naturally occuring enzymes that inhibit digestion and helps your body absorb nutrients. Ideally soak your mung beans for 4-6 hours.
When soaking make sure you add 3-4x the water to beans, and in a large bowl as the beans will double in size. Drain and rinse the beans before cooking.
To cook, add your rinsed beans with fresh water (ratio 1:3) into a pot and bring to the boil. Reduce to a simmer for?20-30 minutes or until soft and tender. Drain and rinse the beans. You can now add these directly into the dish you desire, refrigerate the beans?and use in 2 days, or freeze them for up to 3 months (this is an easy way to have pre-prepared beans ready).
