Mung Beans 1kg

Recipes & Uses

Perfect for Curries

Cook Whole Mung Beans with onion, garlic, ginger, turmeric, cumin and coriander to create flavourful Indian-style curries.

Their mild flavour makes them an excellent base for both gentle and strongly spiced dishes.

Great for Soups & Stews

Simmer Mung Beans in vegetable or meat stock with vegetables and spices until tender.

They work particularly well in hearty soups and stews where they absorb the flavours of the cooking liquid.

Make Whole Mung Dhal

Whole Mung Beans can also be simmered until soft and used to create whole mung dhal.

Unlike split yellow mung dal, the green skins remain intact, giving the finished dish more texture.

Ideal for Salads & Bowls

Cook the beans until tender but still holding their shape, allow them to cool, then add them to salads, grain bowls and vegetable dishes.

Their mild flavour pairs easily with fresh herbs, lemon, spices and dressings.

Excellent for Home Sprouting

Whole Mung Beans are commonly used to grow mung bean sprouts.

The current SpicenEasy product is specifically sold as suitable for home sprouting, and customer reviews also mention successfully sprouting the beans.

Whole Mung Beans vs Mung Daal

Although they come from the same bean, the two products behave differently in cooking.

Whole Mung Beans retain their green outer skin and can hold their shape when cooked, making them useful for curries, soups, salads and sprouting.

Mung Daal / Moong Dal has been split and hulled, giving it a yellow colour and a softer texture that cooks down readily into dhal.
