Mung beans - sprouts

Enjoy the sweet and fresh taste of your homegrown mung beans in salads, stir-fries or as an addition to soups.     

Interesting facts: Mung beans, also known as Jerusalem beans or lunja beans, originally come from India. Today, they are an important part of local cuisine throughout Asia. Mung beans are healthy. They are easier to digest than common beans and do not cause bloating. They have a high protein content and are rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals. They are also considered to lower cholesterol. With their nutty, mild flavor, mung beans go well in soups and salads, as well as in vegetable and stir-fry dishes. Incidentally, Asian glass noodles are made from the flour of dried mung beans. You can harvest the one- to two-centimeter-long sprouts after just two to three days.    

The best way to grow sprouts is in the SAFLAX sprouting jar, which is available separately or as a starter set with three organic sprout varieties.
